Creeping

One little game we have started to play is placing "dolly" at the other end of 2 chairs against the wall and getting Avery to creep over to get her. There are 2 issues with this game, namely that it brings to the forefront that we have totally unoriginal names for her dolls and stuffed animals. Bear is "teddy", all dolls are "dolly", oh there is one i named "petunia" but i realize it will be a long time before she will be able to say, "mommy, can i play with petunia?", so i am thinking of renaming petunia "dolly". The other issue is that she really doesn't care for this game and it demonstrates how she seems to err on the side of caution in her life experiences. Except when she tries to launch herself off the side of our bed, she tends to be careful of anything new or scary, like how to get down from standing up, for a few days she would just cry and fuss until she figured out how to get down onto her knees or bottom. She's got that figured out now and spends lots of time pulling up to stand anywhere she can. Just in the past week she has started standing in her crib calling out to anyone who will listen.
