Here comes trouble…
So yesterday Valerie discovered that she can cross thresholds. I wondered where she wandered and it turns out that she was sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor looking something between proud and confuzzled.
That’s not the exciting bit.
The exciting bit is this: when she saw me in the doorway, the girl got up on her hands and knees and crawled halfway across the kitchen floor to come see me. She’s spent the last day crawling and scooting and rolling from room to room to room. This morning she was already visibly stronger and steadier at it than she was yesterday.
I have a five month old baby who crawls. I am in so very much trouble. Fortunately, it’s the best kind of trouble!
(Honestly, if I wasn’t seeing this with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it.)
those days with the Marine drill instructors in the sandpit are going to seem restful.
soon they’ll both be toddling. better start doing sprints now. they can really move.Posted by on 07/26 at 01:16 PMgood luck. I see more baby gates in your future.....
Posted by caltechgirl on 07/26 at 01:31 PMExcept the gates tend to be a problem in old houses with crookedish doorways. We have one somewhere, but have never seriously used it. It might happen though.
One of these days I’ll probably post, with pictures, about what I did to resolve Valerie’s fascination with the giant surge protector/power strip that my computer relies on from across the room. On top of having previously duct taped the switch to prevent Sadie from randomly shutting it off and demonstrating the deadness of the UPS battery between their and the computer.
It involved one screw, two extra long twist ties, and the suspended ceiling supports. All we need now is a longer network cord for Deb and the router can come up off the floor too.
