And She's Off!

Yep! Two posts in one night! On Christmas Eve, Kristen started crawling. Now, our world has changed! A couple of days after she started crawling, she started pulling herself up to standing. The magazine on the stool got torn, the blinds turned around and Ryan's Bible on the couch got eaten. Then we got smart. We baby-proofed the house and bought a baby fence to keep the little booger in the den. We had to take everything out of the den because she was pulling herself up on things that weren't very stable. Talk about a mom losing her breath!! Kristen crawled head first into a mirror (goose egg on the forehead), fell down after trying to climb up a Santa (small cut beside her eye), fell down after pulling up on her walker (raised marks on the side of her head), and crawled face first into her reflection in the entertainment center (very red nose). Kristen just looks dazed when these things happen, Ryan laughs, and I stop breathing.

Whoa! Maybe I shouldn't try one hand yet!!

I'm OK mom!

Now what can I get into?

I'm too young for jail!

Hey, Dad, if I give you a sad face, will you get me out?
