Ruth has been taking steps now for close to a month. Saturday we were visiting our friends the Fox's, it was cool outside so I had her in pants...they have wood floors. Anyone with a crawling baby and hard floors know pants do not equal a happy mobile baby. So she started walking a bit more. Earlier this week she was standing up walking 3-6 steps falling down and crawling until she was a few steps away from her intended object and standing to finish.
All that cuteness has ended and she is now walking all over not caring when she falls just getting up and going again. She has picked up her speed and the classic watching them try to run and falling over is happening :) And trying to pick everything up to carry it books, toys, 8# weights (luckily she can't get them off the ground).
So when would I say she officially went from Ruth walks to Ruth is walking...Wednesday, September 2, 2009...That would be at 10 mos and a day :) She is pretty stable when she goes not looking like your classic almost toppling kid...unless she has a big butt cloth diaper on :)
She has also almost perfected getting down off higher surfaces and is taking great joy in climbing already! I caught her standing on a little plastic chair to reach a red ball on a shelf this afternoon! Oh Lord Help me! I remember Martha being a little more of a cautious climber I think. Advice anyone???
I hope she has gotten enough practice in that I do not have to forcibly prevent her from continuing to practice her skills when it is way past time to sleep tonight! It feel so wrong but she can not go explore while we all sleep! I can't sleep like that!

Rain Rain Go Away
Rainy day today but it's ok for the morning we had a mom from the attachment parenting group come over to look at diapers I was selling. So I real quick tidy's up a bit and vacuumed the place and finally got the new sheets on the bed! Martha had a great time playing with Gilly and her mom bought a bunch...I recouped $80 YEAH!
Martha spent a little time playing in the backyard today and couldn't understand why we couldn't go for a walk or to the park....I just don't feel like dragging a little baby out and possibly getting drenched on! And again Martha went down for a nap w/out a fuss!!!!!
Now if I could just minister to my hubby and get the kitchen tidy's up for him! One day...the darn thing just exhausts me it never ends!

Baby Swimming
So a fellow mom posted about Tink-Tinks blog on swim diapers and I though I'd jump in being a big swimming family!
I researched tons before Martha was born and when she was little on swimming. Found a great school, Chicago Swim School, that was only 40 min away to take her for classes. It had the 90 degree pool recommended for little babies and swim class and I could go during the day...so we did for about 6 mos. It was great but the road construction killed my trip and I really didn't need a swim class just a warm pool. So we started going to the Gurnee Park Districts Family Open Swim at Laremont School as supplement and eventually for our full swim time during the school year. They have an awesome warm water therapy pool! Their swim classes didn't ghive with our lives so we just did the open swim even though it challenged our family. We have to get up and go to "early" 9 am service to make pool time worth it because it's from 11:30 for 1 pm and a 20 min dip in the pool is just not enough for Martha.
I love Imse Vimse Swim diapers! The Med size fit my first from 6 mos to potty trained at 28 mos...granted shes a tiny one! She wore it under a Splash about Happy Nappy (for her 2nd layer protection required by public pools) and then their baby wrap(wet suit) on top to keep my skinny mini from turning blue!
Size by age/ height on the IV's not just weight because if you don't have enough rise and need to use it's poo catching abilities. Thank you Happy Nappy for catching the stray breastfeed poo IV missed because the diaper needed more rise! As long as the waist is tight it's all good! The legs are tight no mater what!
This same IV diaper worked on my 2nd at 2 mos but is going to need to be uped in size before too long.
When I knew I was having another baby I knew I wanted the Baby Sung to keep the little one warm in the pool...you supposedly can use it w/out an additional swim diaper but I have always used the IV under it and in the beginning used a Small Happy Nappy too...I so don't want to be the mom to have the pool emptied!
