We have a crawling baby! Its not even a partial crawl but a full on crawl, the hand-hand-knee-knee-hand-hand-knee-knee type of crawl. So far I haven’t been able to get her to crawl more than a few feet and only if you entice her with keys or she’s trying to reach the coveted electric outlet, computer cord or dvd shelf. Its time to baby proof the house, uurgh. Rob is excited about this monumental task, it sounds dreadful to me.
I am so proud of my crawling baby. As she reaches her milestones I feel as if I have reached one as well. Speaking of which, there should be mom milestones, things like ‘Had the guts to nurse a fussy teething baby who likes to bite’ ‘Had the guts to nurse a baby after she bites (ouch!)’ or ‘Had the guts to change a poopy diaper in the backseat of a car and did it without making a mess’ or ‘Had the guts to watch as your baby crawls for the first time and didn’t become a blubbering mess as she did it’
I love that Ali is doing so much more, the crawling, the clapping and the waving its all to much yummieness for me to handle. I can’t wait to see what’s next.
I's so proud of both of you pup! You have been brave and been so strong through everything, and I know that will translate into the type of person Aliya grows up to be. She's lucky to have you as a mom. On the crawling, I can't believe how excited I am. I had called Zahra on the way home and asked if there is any were I could stop on the way home, and she told me to come home to a big surprise! When I got home, Zahra told me to drop my keys in the ground a few feet in front of Aliya, and she crawled to them!!! It was awesome. I knew she had been knocking on the door for a few days, but it was so exciting to finally see her actually make it to the crawling point. With that, her clapping, her waving, her maturity just seems to be coming together right now and the growth is just so exciting. I love her more and more everyday.
