Mission Control, We Have Take Off!

Hmmm, I realised that Shannon is a backwards baby. Not backwards as in slow in development, backwards as in.... Backwards, she does things backwards...

Like for example, learning to walk before she knows how to crawl... until today, she simpley refuses to lie on her tummy and crawl, but will gladly stand up and walk around with a huge grin on her face...

Yesterday was another 'Backward' day... Shannon has been able to stand from sitting position since she was 9 and a half months, but she had simply no idea how to get from LYING position to sitting position... see? She knew how to do Step 2 but not step 1!

Well, our baby gal finally gave us a good surprise a few days shy of her 11months. One moment, we had put her down in her cot for her morning nap, the next, she was standing, and calling out to us, waving excitedly! Attempts to put her down only resulted in the same thing, a little gal standing and screaming away while shaking the bars of her cot furously... Mission Control, we have take off!

Well, that said, it was much easier for Mal and me when she was still rolling around in her cot asking to be pushed up to sit!

Shannon is such a smart baby! Don't worry about her 'backwards' development, in future, she will probably learn things faster than other kids!
