Emmi's rants reminded me of more of my own! (I've got the opposite problem, Kili looks tiny!)
To all the strangers who don't know how to mind their own business:
It is perfectly fine for her to be drinking water from my water bottle. She is a year old, it is summer time and she doesn't like the heat, she wants to drink water she can drink water!
If I want to give her some of my chocolate cookie I will! She is a great eater and still has lots of breast milk everyday, 1/4 of a chocolate cookie isn't going to hurt her!
No she doesn't need to be wearing shoes, she's in a push chair, it's hot outside, and she HATES shoes! We've got 5 single shoes at home that used to be 5 pairs but she has proven many times that she does not like or want to wear shoes and I'm not going to keep buying a new pair every week so she can throw one down in the middle of town every time we go out. No this doesn't mean she's going to grow up and be a "barefoot hippy" no we are not hippies either, notice the shoes on my feet. Once she starts walking around outside I'll get her shoes, until then, stop looking at her feet!
Yes she is definitely a year old! I remember having her birthday party, I also remember giving birth to her. No she isn't 7 months old, she is ONE!!
To my MIL:
Stop saying she is "so advanced" everytime she does something new!! So far she has been right on schedule for all her milestones, never early! She is a year old and can now walk around the room, that is not advanced. Yes she can say a few little words, that is not advanced either, she is one year old!
Stop bragging to people that she is "so advanced" and telling them she's doing things that she isn't doing!! It makes me sound like a liar and it's embarrassing. Just because she knows a few words that only we can understand does not mean she's talking in sentences. Just because she can walk across the room for about 3 minutes before falling down does not mean she's walking everywhere!! Yes she does know how to wake and lots of times she does do it at the right times, but she also waves at the tv and the wall and the air!!
And stop STOP pretending you spend so much time with her and always have her! You NEVER every have her I take care of my daughter all day every day stop trying to take credit for it. You can't just put a baby swing that she has never even used outside next to where you sit and say she goes out there with you all the time. It makes you look like an idiot anyway since you only go out there to smoke!
(well maybe they bitch about me behind my back but if I don't hear it, I don't care)
