She’ll be 16 months on the 11th.
She rolled pretty early, both ways, and was commando crawling like a pro before she was 6 months old. When she started pulling up and cruising at 8 months I thought she’d be walking soon. But no. Almost double her lifetime later and still not walking. Or talking either, but that’s a whole other thread.
Anyway, in the last couple of days she’s seemed way more adventurous than normal, is doing a weird downward dog type thing, trying to climb over impossible obstacles that and never has before, shifting her weight from side to side, other little signs that Mr Google tells me are all common before a baby’s first steps.
I really don’t want to miss her first steps! But DH and I are supposed to be going out for lunch together tomorrow just us, it’s a rare opportunity that we haven’t had for ages and won’t get for another few months at least.
Also it’s my mum and dad who are going to look after her while we go out. If she does take her first steps while we’re gone I will never ever hear the end of it. And not in a fun, teasing way. An irritating, ‘she did it with us because she prefers us’ will you please shut the fuck up and let me forget about it way.
On the other hand, one of the reasons I think she’s close is that she’s been in a right grump for a few days and I wouldn’t hate to get away from that for a few hours.
AIBU to not go?
YABU - don’t be ridiculous, go and have lunch
YANBU - no stay home don’t miss those first steps
