Climbing baby

A little over a week ago Katerina crawled up Dan and onto his lap while he was on the phone with Lib. She is suddenly sooooo mobile. She can also pull herself up on the side of her crib and seems like she will be able to get up to the cat on the couch any minute. Look at the look of surprize on his face! Neither of us realized she could climb. There are a bunch of these so click on the picture for the whole album.

I guess it is just as much fun to play with this way.





Kitty cat

Sage's mom gave her a stuffed animal which looks a lot like our Stanzi-cat. Katya laughed herself silly.

So excited about cereal

She was so excited about cereal that she jumped as every bite approached her mouth. By the end we had cereal everywhere.








May 9th - she learned to crawl

We went out for coffee with a couple of other moms and their babies. One of them was about Katya's age and already crawling like crazy. I hadn't seen a baby her age before who could move as much as she could but he even pulled himself up on one of my knees and took a couple of steps!

The two of them played on the floor, in green onsies they looked like mirror images. Katya had been trying for weeks and weeks to crawl and was pretty good at going backwards. I looked down and realized she had gone forwards! It was like a light went on, she watched the other baby and said, I can do that.

When we got home we tried it again. Her crawling for the remote is something we'll have to work on though, I should have animated in a good book.

End of April - struggling to crawl

With a sleeeeeepy daddy when he was still working 9 shifts a week!
