Look who's crawling... I mean cruising... I mean standing...
Wait... What!?!?!?!
A week ago this little girl was just getting up on her knees but could not manage forward locomotion....
Sunday that changed... She was rolling around, playing on our living room floor and got up on her knees for the millionth time BUT this time she made her first tentative moves forward...
Within 24 hours she was crawling like a pro...
But it turns out her only goal from crawling was to get over to things she could pull herself up on...
Within another 48 hours she was pulling herself up on EVERYTHING...
See that cute little bug rocking toy back there? Adorable baby toy in her Gigi's living room or weapon of mass destruction? You guessed it... She pulls up on it and pushes it around like a snow plow!
Then last night she was again pulling up on everything and repeatedly letting go! (Totally freaking out her first time parents!) She did this over and over until she was able to stand for a couple brief seconds...
We are expecting a blizzard today through tomorrow so we won't see this sweet baby until Saturday at the earliest... I am pretty sure she will drive herself over!
Oh yeah, look who is eating real food too! She will let you feed her about once a day but she can do it herself and does not want your help! See how happy she was when her mom fed her some cheese ravioli yesterday for lunch! (Photo shamelessly stolen from Katy's FB page!)
I would be remiss if I didn't tell you about that BEAUTIFUL quilt up there...
Julie from Herding Grasshoppers makes the most amazing quilts that I have admired from afar for as long as I can remember, so when she said she might be willing to sell a couple baby quilts she made I did not hesitate to snag one! It is even more beautiful in person then it is in photos...
I would STRONGLY encourage you to snag one too! (If she has any more!)
This one lives at Gigi's house for her to snuggle with when she is here... I envision many stories read snuggled up on the sofa with her own quilt.
Thanks for listening,
Rebecca, you are too kind :D Glad you like the quilt! And OH MY WORD THAT "BABY" IS ADORABLE! And about to be walking, hence a toddler. I had one that walked at eight months like a drunken sailor - so much fun :D

Well, you drew me in with your comment at Julie's blog -- Delightful pics of your sweet grandbaby and new quilt!
ReplyDeleteBut now my son is "starving" so I'd best cook up some eggs as promised ~
