Saturday:

I took Annabelle to the ICAN meeting today while Liam stayed home. Twice, she went from sitting, to falling back and hitting her head on the floor. I think she is trying to rock like she does in her high chair, but then she notices that there is no chair there. Sadly, this is noticed after the impact of her head to the floor. Of course she let out a big cry each time, which I don't blame, she hit very hard. That was the down side to the meeting for her. Other than that, she crawled around to the other kids, specifically a baby who was just five weeks old. She had a lot of interest in him. After that, she had a nap in the wrap, and then after we got home, lunch and then another nap.

At dinner, it was the first night that I decided to skip the high chair tray and gave her Liam's place-mat. I figured the place-mat would be easier to clean than the high chair tray, which is big and bulking and quite awkwardly fits in the sink when it comes time to clean it. So, I thought the mat would be easier, and maybe a little neater too. It was still a huge mess nonetheless. She also kept trying to pull it up, which was kinda annoying. She's started throwing food on the floor too, and once she does this, I assume she must be done with dinner, so I've started putting her down out of her high chair. Tonight, after she was down, she found much amusement in crawling under the table, standing up, walking from one person to the next and giggling each time she got to another person. Liam thought this was really funny too. I think at one point she bit, licked or somehow put her mouth on his leg and he laughed and said, "Anbel licked me!" Crazy kids.
