We bought you a playpen to contain your growing independence and give mama some peace during the day. When you are in it, you spend a lot of time standing up and trying to reach the other side. For now, it is your favourite place during your quiet moments - times when you can play with your toys or "read" Mummy's old magazines, all in relative safety. It probably won't be too long when you'll protest at being inside when everybody's moving around freely outside, but for now, the playpen's your newest toy!
Finally!! The day that Mummy and Daddy had been anticipating for this month (and on hindsight, we longed for this milestone too soon!) After all your practices moving around the playpen, you finally plucked up the courage to walk freely on your own outside it.One evening, you decided to do a little demonstration around the room before bedtime and now we finally see you in action! Only trouble is.. you learnt to walk and run in less than a week. So now, while we celebrate your new-found independence, it's the start of everyone's trepidation too as the danger of you bumping into furniture on your unsteady feet and pulling things off table tops is even more real. Even safety devices to protect your head from corners don't work because you always manage to pull them off. It's time for us to think of new ways to outwit you so that you can explore the surroundings and still keep yourself safe!
