Getting closer to having a toddler!

In the last month, Isabelle has made some great strides in movement. Back in February, she started scooting. It was sort of a combination of a military crawl and the way an inchworm moves. She would pull herself along with her arms but would also push herself forward using her feet. She could move around pretty quick this way once she got going. It wasn't too long after that that she figured out that doors didn't have invisible force fields (no idea where she got this idea but she just would not leave a room for the longest time) and she could leave the room and go anywhere she wanted to. This then evolved to climbing/pulling herself up on the bed (which is on the floor so not all to far to climb). From there, she would be able to sit down on her own. Not too long after that, she learned to pull herself up and finally, she mastered a regular crawl and has completely abandoned the military crawl she used for over two months. She's cruising now and learning to climb up on and over anything that stands in her way (her favorite is the foot locker I currently have in the bedroom). She's also getting into more trouble. Anything left in her reach is subject to being pulled down or dumped. If it's within her reach, she's into it. Nursing is getting interesting too as she's just not as interested in lying still for her meals. Instead, she would prefer to take them "to go". Unfortunately, that's one of the downfalls of nursing. You just can't get a breast "to go". She's also very well aware of where my breasts are which has me thinking of those who think a mom shouldn't nurse once the kid starts pulling up mom's shirt. Well, my ten month old knows exactly where to find her food and is already starting to lift up my shirt so...but no, have no intention of weaning this soon. Just a matter of time now before she starts walking which has me wondering just where the last ten months plus have gone. Admittedly, Natalie was walking by this time but I'm okay with Isabelle taking a little longer. My apartment isn't quite ready for a walker just yet!
