go, delly, go!

she finally crawled.

it was about time, too. we were starting to wonder about her. she was our latest crawler, her sisters had her beat by about 4 months.

don't get me wrong, it was a sort of blessing not having to chase her all over the house, but at 10 1/2 months old, sitting around while everyone around you moves about only gets you frustrated and bored, which is all she had been for a while. it was more work trying to keep her entertained in one spot and usually ended with us carrying her around with us where ever we'd go.

i sat her down last wednesday as usual in front of a few toys, looked away for a second and in the corner of my eye i saw her get right up on her knees and start crawling, as if she'd been doing it all along. babies are funny.

this morning, after breakfast i put her down by some toys, which she completely ignored and headed straight for the back door, and before i knew it she was trying to squeeze herself through the gap to escape.

she just started crawling and she already has one foot out the door...

kids, i tell ya... they sure grow up fast.

p.s. where the heck did september go? whoo-ee!
