I get weekly emails telling me how old my child is (in case I don't know, ha) and what she should be up to...this week's is pretty accurate...
YOUR BABY IS 50 WEEKS OLD
• Your baby's coordination and attention span have developed. She can most likely hold a toy in each hand or pick up a toy and wave. Check and check...she actually just started waving recently but doesn't have a problem doing so while holding a toy (or something she thinks is a toy but shouldn't really have, like daddy's camera - which she fished out of mommy's purse...) And she likes having her hands full - of things she fishes out of the diaper bag (she's mommy's little "helper" - she helps me by emptying the diaper bag nightly).
• Babies this age don't understand danger yet. Affirmative. Guess what Lucy did last week! She climbed the stairs! Yikes! And she frequently gets a hold of her fingernail clippers and puts them in her mouth (you would think her mother would find a better, higher, place to keep them...), she stands in the tub - and gives daddy a heart attack every time he happens to see it (which, luckily, is only about 1% of the time that she actually does this "trick"), and tries to climb off of her changing table...
• Now they can remember where a toy had been before, even if they can no longer see it. This is my favorite...if we make the sound of a toy she has, she looks to the spot where we keep said toy...she's amazing.
I couldn't leave you without a picture...here's 50 week old Lucy doing a little computing...
