what's new pussycat...

I haven't done an update post on baby girl...

...she now stands up on her own without holding on to anything. I can't believe how fast she is walking

...who needs a shredder with GG around. Baby girl prefers to eat paper...any time, shape or color she can get her tiny mitts on

...she just absolutely BEAMS when she sees her brothers or dad and I am so excited that they fight and clamor just to play with her. She has a 1000 watt smile, that girl.

...I am finally taking the steps to get her a new caregiver. The old one is really making me nervous and I am blaming myself for not doing a thorough enough "vetting" job because while the woman has a very clean home, only cares for my one child, and has a very nurturing family who treats GG like her own, she is a bit too rough when she handles GG, and she doesn't have the same value on my breastfeeding GG still (I think she is disgusted by it and I know that she is annoyed that come 5pm, GG sometimes cries incesstantly until I come to nurse her). I do not think she values the importance of letting GG go outside, play with her toys, watch educational Baby Einstein-like DVDs or reading.

In all honesty, I blame myself for not setting up a standard in the first place and trying to instill certain rules after the fact is difficult because she is resistant and not complying and all the warning signs are there. The woman obviously wants to be doing something other than watching my child. So....I'm cutting loose as I should have looong ago, with or without the support of my spouse who seems complacent and willing to just accept mediocrisy, depite warning signs that all is very much not well! hrmpf!
