On the Move

Well, we all knew it would happen, but so soon? Wendy has decided that crawling really is the way to go.

I'd post pics, but I took the camera to a show and now it's packed away in a box and I'm too dang lazy to go dig it out. Ok, all you 3rd children out there, did you ever resent your parents for not taking pictures of you? We've got a billion of Jack. Ten of Beth Ann and, well, I'm sure we have a few of Wendy.... somewhere....

Crawling is one of those fuzzy milestones that parents look forward to and dread (well once they know what they are in for they do!) It's awesome to know that they can, but within a day you wish they'd forget they'd ever become mobile. Already Jack is beginning to see how "not cool" Wendy's new-found freedom is as I make him pick up every last lego and string beads in exile over in the corner that no one ever uses. Babies sure suck, don't they Jack?

At three in the morning I would tend to agree. I know that it is a phase they grow past, but baby crawling on my head is not my favorite late night activity. Neither is "baby pulling to see how far my hair can go down the mattress" or &wake up, Mommy! that face plant I just did against your hip actually hurt my nose!" Of course, once the sun has been up for an hour or so, she makes up for it by regaling us with a giggle storm as she gets up on her tippy-toes and rocks for five minutes. *sigh* Timing is everything isn't it?
