Friday means it’s time to link up with Jocelyn from The Reading Residence for Word of the week #WOTW.
The word of my week is;
This week has been a week of achievement for Baby. She has learned two new things within a day of each other. On Wednesday she decided that she wanted to crawl properly and not commando crawl as she usually does. Then on Thursday she pulled herself up on her walker and managed a few little steps, before sitting back down again. She has pulled herself up before, but has never attempted movement. I managed to snap her as she was almost finished. Then later that day she walked down the whole room, with me just steadying the walker (as our floor is very slippy).
Bless my baby girl, she is growing up so fast.
The only negative to all this action is her bumps and bruises. She is quite gung-ho and her little legs are covered in bruises from her attempts to walk that have failed. She fell a couple of days ago and caught the side of her face. I hate seeing her with these blemishes, but I think it is an inevitable part of growing up.
I wonder when she will take her first unassisted steps.
My previous words of the week have been Organised , Overwhelmed, Blessed, Active , Cuddles , Play-Date/Illness, Change, Horrible and Indecision
If you enjoy reading my blog I would appreciate it if you could nominate me in the BiB Awards xx

Aww I love this stage, I remember the fear that they will get hurt, mind you, I had twins so my son started to take those first few steps and his sister would pull him down.

It is a very exciting stage, for both of us! x
Ah what a clever girl! I love her sleep suit too. LL is showing no signs of walking yet, but funnily enough I just posted a photo of her on instagram as she was walking with her walker! They are growing so fast! x
Author
She is very proud of herself. The babygrow is from Sainsburys a lovely 2 pack, have little heart applique on the elbows x
This is such a brilliant stage, they are growing so fast at this age too.
Author
Yes it is so quick and things are grouped together x
Wow – you will have your hands full soon – what a little mover & groover! 😀
My boys are almost 2 and 3 and they are still covered in bruises – I hardly worry now unless there’s blood, or it’s a head bump (though maybe that’s because they are boys, not that that should make any difference)…
Exciting times in your house x
Author
Yes the development seems quite rapid! x
Awe. Well done LO. How lovely is that! I love her baby grow too! x
Author
Thank you x

Thanks you, I think you are right! x
What a gorgeous girl – she’ll be walking on her own before you know it. Btw do you know about arnica cream? It’s great for bruises!
Author
Thank you. Oh I had forgotten about Arnica, thanks for the reminder x
Oh wow, there will be no stopping her soon! I wouldn’t worry about the bump and bruises – as soon as my two were on the feet they have been constantly covered!
Author
I am trying to relax about the bruises. x
Aww what a cute little girl! Such a joy to look at babies making their first steps!
Author
Aw thank you x
It’s so lovely when they reach that age where they’re determined to start doing things for themselves. #WotW
Author
She is VERY determined 🙂 x
Wow, lovely pictures and a great word. The do indeed grow up fast!
Author
Thank you x
Exciting! And well done Baby! Unfortunately, the bruises are sort of inevitable now – my Little Man always sports a few! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x
Author
She is very pleased with herself x
So cute! My 20 month old has had so many blooming head injuries in the last year since he’s been really mobile but I guess that is just all part of growing up! #WotW
Author
Thanks, yes I think it is, trying to relax about it x
Worth the odd bump and bruise to see achievements like this #WotW
Author
I think it is inevitable isn’t it x
I remember this so well, the babygro is really cute too.
Author
It’s lovely isn’t it x
aw weldone lil one , its amazing how fast they do grow x
Author
She is very pleased. Too quick x
What a week. My boys never did learn to crawl properly, it was comando all the way!
Author
She has been very busy! 🙂 x
Oh God! Get those corner protectors in place! You might as well get used to the bruises, they’ll be a fixture for the next couple of years, but thankfully not as numerous as the near misses – I spent those years in a permanent state of wincing.
Author
She just pulls those off! We have a massive playpen so that helps x
Arrrr yay baby!! Such exciting times, isn’t it scary how quick they grow! fb & #WotW x
Author
So quick and everything seems happening at once x

Such a lovely stage to be watching. I remember when my three started crawling and pulling up – it’s amazing. Keep taking those pics. You’re making a fantastic record of her first year.

Well done little lady – part of me wants to encourage Sebby to move but the other part of me quite likes that he stays where I leave him lol
Author
Yes it is bittersweet! 🙂 x
I remember reaching these milestones with F and it’s so exciting. Now I just want him to slow down as he is growing so fast! x
Author
Time just flies by x
So important yet so forgotten… many parents do not think to praise their kids for small achievements, all they want is more and better…
Author
Oh we relish praising the simple things x
How gorgeous!! Our little little has now been walking on her own for a week- it is amazing. Babies hay- best thing ever!
