The last 10 days

Last night, I read Jenny's blog. I was behind a couple days so after reading the most recent entry and crying like a baby, I went back to the previous entry. Jenny has a little girl who is just 10 days younger than Macie. Izzy was born one week after their daughter Catie died. I had followed Catie's site for several years and had the joy of meeting her the week before she died. Back to the point, Jenny said "It's funny how you can hit a week with a baby and all of a sudden they can do all of these new things that they couldn't do 10 days earlier." This got me thinking about all that Macie can do now that she could not do 10 days ago. Here is a list I can come up with off the top of my head.
1. Crawl, I mean really crawl on all fours moving around the house. Thankfully she hasn't discovered the steps yet!
2. Pull up on most things, she can not get her arms above her head to pull herself up, but she can certainly get to standing.
3. Eat all sorts of table food, chicken, cut up pears and sweet potatoes, bread.
4. Scream in a way that makes you think something is terribly wrong, when really she just wants you to pick her up.
5. Take a bath in the big garden tub with Carson.
6. Find the cat food in the kitchen in only a few seconds. (Poor Smokey is going to have to find a new place to eat. For the record, Carson never in all his babyhood got into the cat food)
7. Get the wipes out of the wipe box.
8. Convince me its not worth the fight to take it away! (see evidence below)
9. Suck her thumb! (She is putting her thumb in her mouth more and more. I am trying to have a pacifier handy to avoid having a thumb sucker.
10. I can not think of a 10th, but I am sure I can add move up a class at church. I don't think she will be able to stay in the youngest nursery now that she is a wild thing!
