It’s cool to post a Sunday entry on a Tuesday, right? That’s what I thought.

So I’ve been slack-a-lackin on the posts lately because I just have. No real reason – I haven’t been super busy or anything, just took me a while to go through photos I guess. And we’ve been more social lately, too, which has been nice. It was my birthday two weekends ago – the day after I wrote the post about our impending doom life changes – and on my birthday we celebrated by getting the flu shot for Sonora and looking for refrigerators, yay! Oh wait, that’s not cool. That’s adult-y and boring. But AFTER that we went out for dinner with our good friends Meghan and Greg (aka Megreghan) where I proceeded to get wine, dinner AND dessert. That’s how I do birthdays. I also received my very own homemade tiramisu the next day made and delivered by another good friend, Amanda, and her fiance. So even though we had to drop my birthday money on a new fridge, it was a good weekend.

But let’s get serious, you don’t care about what’s going on with us anymore, do you? You just want to get back to baby. Well that’s fine because we haven’t really done a lot of adventure-y things lately that are worthy of putting on the blog. Mostly just park walks, play dates and friend get-togethers. So I get it…the content is not quite as riveting.

Anyway, so lately I’ve been LOVING this stage that we’re in. It’s the climb-all-over-mama, crawling and babbling stage. I have my very own pocket-sized friend.

She cuddles…

She plays…

And she lounges.

OKAY NOW STOP JUDGING ME. This was early in the morning (or 9am, *ahem*) and I wasn’t ready for the day yet. See my coffee mug sitting there? It wasn’t yet finished. I like to enjoy my mornings, relaxing in my sleepy filth.

Whatever. I dare YOU to post an ugly photo of yourself for the world to see.

So besides that, she’s just been getting cuter and cuter now THAT SHE’S CRAWLING. Yep, that’s right. Crawling. No real destination yet other than trying to procure the remote and any cord she can get. It’s a slow, methodical crawl now – one step up from the robotic crawl – and it’s ridiculously adorable. Here is a video of her first real crawling experience (double click the image):

Oh my goodness. I just love her.

Now, onto the photo strips!

One of her favorite activities is to stand holding onto her activity mat...and then fall over when she loses her balance.

Real crawling happening here, folks.

Eating my drawstring. Grabbing the camera strap. Of course.

Sadie stops by for a visit. Showers overhead. Washcloth on the noggin.

Looking guilty about something. Probably about being so cute.

Excited to talk to Sadie and pretty sure attempting to comb her hair.

Chillin. It's how we do.

Good things DO come in small packages. And small packages just keep getting more and more fun.

Have a nice day,
Laura
