Anywho, a quick rundown of where we're at... Nevaeh turned 10 months old this past week. She's about 30 inches long and weighs just under 27 pounds. After struggling for months to find shoes that will fit her fat and wide feet, I finally brought her in yesterday to be fitted for her first pair of shoes and she measured in at a size 6 extra wide. Yep, extra wide. Not just wide. EXTRA wide. So basically, the only shoes that fit her are the $42 ones that she'll hopefully be able to wear for 2 months. 3 months if I'm lucky. Ouch on the pocketbook.
Nevaeh has been walking for about a month now and loves to explore. She will find everything she's not supposed to. Recently I realized that she really only had a few toys besides all the rattles and stuffed animals. I hit up a secondhand kids store and found a number of toys that would normally retail for $10+ apiece and I only paid $5 or less for each one. But even those toys don't hold her interest for more than a minute at a time. For whatever reason, her favorite "toys" seem to be (in no particular order):
- Bathroom scale
- Phones
- Remotes
- Wires/cords
- Plastic bags
- Wet wipes
- Mirrors
- Keys
- Toilet paper
- Bottles of lotion, shampoo, water, etc
- Shoes
- Anything in the dishwasher, especially sharp items
Those are all safe to play with, right? ...
Well anywho, she's definitely active and into something new everyday, but I love her curiosity and chasing after her keeps me from being too lazy.
Time to go play and wear this munchkin out. It's Gracie's first birthday party today during Nevaeh's normal nap time, so I'm hoping to get her down for an early nap this morning instead. Sean & Clayton came over for a visit last night, so Nevaeh was up until 10:15...but still wide awake at her normal 7 am. Gotta love it! :-)
