50 Weeks Old...dang

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...
