Crawling

She's officially graduated from army crawling to regular crawling. As of yesterday. It's weird how things change so quickly. 

4 years

Whelp, we made it almost four years as parents before our first poop-in-tub incident. 

Mission Alphabet Magnets on the Fridge

I set Eden down in our bedroom with some toys so I could finish getting some things done in the kitchen before leaving for work this morning. She army crawled in a beeline to the alphabet magnets in the fridge. Sat up, grabbed a couple letters and looked up at me super accomplished. Wow, she knew from the other room what she wanted to play with, and without hesitating to fuss or think about it, she made her way there! What? I'm so proud. Also, note to self: I might need to sweep/clean under/next to the fridge, because she found some pretty serious dust bunnies to try to eat. 

Dada

Pretty sure her first word is Dada. So cute!!

A close second is her kissing sound. Because the smooching sound carries meaning, right? I love her. 

And she's almost pulling up. Today for the first time, we set her down in her room and I found her in the kitchen in a moment. She's still army crawling, but gaining serious speed. 

The other night, after we put the kids to bed, we heard them laughing so hard. When we listened at the door, we heard Moses yelling things like "Hulk smash!!" And they were both falling apart with laughter. My heart is so full. 

Little baby boo boo bop!

Crawling

When does it officially count as crawling? It's been a few weeks that Baby's been able to get around with ease, but it's still an army crawl. She's able to go from lying down to sitting up, and gets to her desired destinations without any complaint. Her knees get red if she's wearing shorts, but she doesn't seem to mind. I could watch her play all day. I love her. :)
