On The Move!

Last week my baby figured out that she can motor from place to place by crawling without flopping around. She got up on all fours, and started exploring. And, yes, getting into everything. Anything that she can pull off a shelf, she will definately try. My magazine doesnt have a cover anymore. 

A few months ago I was in the states with my friend Theresa and I found this cute shirt. I thought is was perfect for when she started to move, and would fit well in my scrapbook of her first year. The store had a special if you buy two and Camia had dirtied the clothes she was wearing. Mommy, in her infinite wisdom, neglected to pack a change of clothes (in my defence I was thinking I would have more room in the diaper bag if I didnt pack a change of clothes. After all, she very rarely went through clothes anyways, and the sleeper was just taking up valuable space!) so I thought I could buy it for her along with her new outfit. And finally she gets to wear it!!She is quick on all fours, and needs to be constantly watched now. The gate at the top of the stairs is used quite frequently since the 14 steps is a long way down. I'd rather her not experience her first independent descension of the stairs to be rolling uncontrollably to the bottom. That might be ugly.

Now that she's got the crawling thing under control, it's time to perfect the standing thing. She tries so hard, and so far the only places she's able to pull herself confidently to a standing position is in her bed, the bathroom sink and the bathtub. Well, actually, she needs help to pull herself up in the bathroom sink :).
