It is when you are only 9 and a half months old. We Aimee has demonstrated the early steps in these essential skills. The photo below shows her escapology tricks.
Handful is too fine a word for it. Precocious would be better description. You cannot leave her alone for a second.
Luckily, we have enlisted the help of Nai-nai - my Mum. Today was the first day of her regular Monday baby-minding duties. To be honest, I feared that my Mum wouldn't cope and Aimee would have one of her really bad days where no food woul dbe eaten, no drink drunk and no cuddling or rocking would send her to sleep (erm, that's most days actually.)
I needn't have worried as Aimee enjoyed her most productive day ever, with full food, drink and sleep quotas completely satisfied. My Mum even had time to bathe her, take her out to the park and do some tidying and cleaning - wow! Clearly, we have much to learn in the Mum and Dad stakes.
Tomorrow, it's back to the day nursery where Aimee clearly also has a very good time. ME, well I have to make the mad dash to get to work very early so I can leave in time to pick her up in the evening. In October, I have requested reduced working hours so I can leave work early obviously with less pay :(
