The Crawler

Ella Kate started crawling about 24 hours ago. In that time she has taught me (or at least reminded me of) a few things...

1. The only thing harder on carpet than a baby who spits-up a lot, is a baby who crawls and spits-up a lot.
2. There is a big difference in being "kid proof" and "baby proof." "Baby proof" is much more extensive.
3. I need to vaccum more.
4. An open door is an invitation to trouble.
5. There is no point in trying to fold clothes in the living room floor anymore.
6. No matter how disgusting, shoes look like teething toys to a baby.
7. The magazine basket has to find a new home.
8. All trash cans should have lids.
9. Ant traps can not be left under the corner of the kitchen cabinets anymore.
10. The Exersaucer is a very good thing!

I tried for an hour to get a good video of our newly mobile baby, but this was as good as it got! It's about 3 minutes long but she does eventually crawl, as well as show off her baby crunches.



Here is another video attempt that is a bit shorter.

Happy Thursday!
