No Longer Stationary

Let the exercise begin....... Ella is finally crawling. After 11 1/2 months of anticipation, we are now experiencing the world of having a mobile child. For the past two months Ella has been standing and holding onto things for extended periods of time. We first thought that she might just skip the whole crawling deal. We were wrong..... she has decided to crawl after all.

Ella is now into everything. She seems to enjoy the various textures of floors. Chrissy and I sit amazed as Ella transitions from the hardwood floors to the carpet in our living room. Her crawl is a little bit of a one- legged crawl. It is so funny to see her little bottom shooting stright up in the air. At times we feel as if she is going to stand-up and walk. Needless to say we now have some new action in life to keep us busy.

Now our next steps:

1. transitioning off the bottle........this should be interesting considering it is her favorite time of day.

2. Planning her Big 1st Birthday which is only 18 days away.

Crawling is exhausting!

Uh Oh..... I think I am not suppose to be touching this.......
