Standing up

Just wanted to quickly share pictures of Alexia in her preferred position. I thought she would take awhile to walk, but I think she may be on the move sooner than we expect. She stands up wherever she can and is even trying to stand up on her own, without holding onto anything. I had to carry her through Target yesterday because she was sitting behind the handle bars in the shopping cart and she kept trying to stand up (and she was buckled in!) I sternly told her "No!" and tapped her leg, but she did not want to sit down. So then I had Diego sit behind the handlebars and sat her inside the cart...and of course, she stood up. Grocery shopping may be challenging for the next couple of months!
Another development of hers (that I am not happy about) is that she is dropping her morning nap. I lay her down every morning for her nap and it has almost been two weeks since she's fallen asleep. I need that time to shower and get ready so I just leave her in her crib for 40-60 minutes and she cries, talks, plays, cries some more and eventually gets to come out.

Here she is!
