Standin' Fool

My girl is growing up. Our monkey is so desperate to keep up with her brother and sister, it's just unreal to me. Friday, she officially started to crawl. Like Cooper, she's been mobile through scooting and rolling for a fair while, but this is the real deal. It's odd, since Em crawled for all of 10 minutes and decided it wasn't for her. Cooper, crawled a bit too, but it was winter here and the tile floors were freezing, so he as well thought better of it. I'm wondering how long it will last with this girl. Thankfully, she's not terribly fast (yet) so leaving her in a room by herself and go grab something from the kitchen isn't out of the question, but soon, I know it will be.

I've been working on getting things ready for the holidays and what-not, so the other day I was doing laundry. A LOT of laundry. I left Harper in the living room to fetch a laundry basket and she managed to crawl over to the security gating, pull herself up and was attempting to use the gate to "walk." I honestly could think of only one thing: that my independence is growing even more microscopic with each step she takes!
She was so proud of herself and so stinkin' cute, but SERIOUSLY?!?!?! Come on- can't a mom catch a break and get a kid who is slightly behind the milestone instead of months ahead???
Pretty girl all excited with herself.
