Watch Out, World

As of today, Baby E is officially crawling. The belly completely off the floor, hands-and-knees type of crawling. She's been climbing stairs for a week or two now--along with anything else she can get a good grip and a knee hold on.

She's pulling up to standing, also, so it's probably a matter of days or weeks before she takes off running.

Did I mention that she's also cutting four teeth? Yes, four (4). All at once.

Baby E objects most strenuously to any kind of restraint or barrier standing in the way of her locomotion. Never-fail recipe for an instant angry tantrum: Block the stairs or pick her up when she's trying to climb them.

She's 8 1/2 months old and thinks the world is too small to contain her.

How am I ever going to keep up with this one?

Hurray for Baby E!

Isn't cool how kids show their personality at such an easy age? My youngest sister was crawling and walking and racing around at a very young age -- and now she still has that same kind of fast energy, even though she is 35 years old.

Yeah for Baby E! It seems like only yesterday that she was born.

Crawling and crutches don't go together very well, do they?

Still, very exciting news!

Maybe you should just ditch the crutches and crawl right after her?! LOL

Wow. The milestones are coming fast and furious. :) Thank goodness you are so good about blogging it all. There's no way you could commit it all to memory with being so busy with all three girls.

Enjoy!

PS - I hope your ankle is on the mend!
