Week in review

It's been a progressive week. Last Sunday, she started crawling using the ol' hands & knees. As of today, we only use the army crawl when we're tired...or trying to sneak up on the dog. B your daddy laughs at how you'll crawl up to the kitchen floor, sit up, then peak around the corner cabinet before you decide to go any further! He's been having crawling races with you in the living room, & lets just say your eczema is flared UP from all your activity. So much so, that you've been asleep before 8 almost every night this week.
We've also learned "Sooooo BIG!" Mimi was teaching her this on Wed & on Sat raised her arms the first time we asked her "How big are you?" Colors & shapes are becoming more of interest too. We both think she tried to say yellow tonight while playing with her stacking rings.
On the food front, we still seem to be running into contamination issues with cereals & meats. So, I bought my first whole chicken yesterday at the farmers market. Grass fed & minimally processed. And for the sake of looking back on this 30 yrs from now, it was $5.50/lb. Ouch. And yes, I also asked for FULL instructions on what the hell to do with it! As I'm learning to cook healthy for our family, it won't come without a few stumbling blocks.
Tomorrow we'll be heading out the door extra early, as its her 1st day with Miss Christine. A little excited, & a little nervous over the change, but a great step forward for our ever growing little sprout.
I'll try to upload a video of her crawling but its' a bit dark.
