Crawling Cheese?

Today I came home from the library and before I opened the door I could hear Lynnie and Julia shrieking inside. I came into the apartment to find my daughter scurrying about in the buff while Lynnie made her laugh. Naked time is happy time...for everyone. I don't know what happened between this morning and this afternoon, but the Cheese had really made monumental strides in her mobility.

Crawling - It ain't pretty, but it is forward progress. Julia has a tendency to get on her knees, cry, flop on her stomach, cry, pivot in a circle, cry, scoot backward, cry, get stuck under the couch, cry and give up. This afternoon, however, we saw a marked improvement. She went forward - it wasn't straight, it wasn't easy, but it was definitely forward. You will note her polite disposition as she says "Hi" on her way past me.

Lynnie was reading an ABC's book to Julia today. For the letter T there is a turkey tripping. We've read the book 100 times before, but today "tripping turkeys" were HYSTERICAL, because Lynnie would say "whoa" and pretend to make Julia trip. So whenever Lynnie told Julia not to trip, she would giggle. At the end of the video, you'll see Julia in stitches because Lynnie was warning her against tripping.

After some time as a quadruped, we quickly evolved to biped status, which she has been doing much longer, and scurried about.


After such a strenuous work out - we hit the showers!

It's about time that we saw a post!
I love the videos - can't believe how big she is getting and how mobile! Fun Times!

I love that in the first video how she reached for Matt as she walked by. In the second video I love your background music - Norah Jones - nice. In the third video, Lynn is that an apron you are wearing? I guess to prevent water?! That's great!
