Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice...

Our little girl is full of sugar and spice..but is also full of smiles and wiggles.  Just recently this ornery little girl has learned to crawl around the house getting into anything she can get her little piggies on.  She has also learned that sitting still is only necessary when eating her bottle, sleeping, and sitting in her car seat, stroller or grocery cart.  She's on the move and there is no turning back.  This is definitely the busy stage everyone had been preparing us for.  It's fun and we would not trade it for the world. In addition to full blown crawling, she is learning pretty quickly how to pull herself up on one of us by holding onto our clothing when we are on the floor with her, so I'm sure she's not too far off from grabbing the furniture to pull up on.

She has also been blessed with two teeth in the last month and is chewing on everything including my toes..that's right the other day she got a hold of my little toe with her mouth and sharp teeth while I was sitting on the floor with her talking to my mom on the phone.

Last but not least she has started saying Ba Ba, Ma, Ma and Da Da..in that order.  Needless to say I was stoked when she belted out Ma Ma  for the first time last week when she was crawling after me..almost busted out in tears and just yesterday morning when Bob picked her up out of her crib she smiled and in a loud tone said Da Da..you could see in his eyes that just melted his heart.





With each little milestone comes happiness and tiredness but there is nothing like watching your child learn and grow right before your very eyes.
