LU LU CAN CRAWL!!!
It is actually a very very challenged crawl, but she is moving from 'Point A' to 'Point B.' I have been trying for a day now to attach a video of her on the go, but it doesn't seem to be working. At first I was so excited about this new little development, now I am not so sure.
Today I didn't quite finish getting ready before she woke up so I brought her into my bedroom and set her on the floor. I then went into our bathroom to blow dry my hair. The next thing I know there is something/someone tugging on my leg. I look down and she is smiling so big. I am sure she was just so proud of her accomplishment. I clapped along with her and then proceeded to pick her back up and put her back onto the carpet in our room. No less than a minute later I look over and she is pulling herself up on the bathtub. What am I supposed to do now? I liked those days, before yesterday, when she stayed put for the most part. She could roll around pretty good, but that took her 5x more time than crawling.
Crawling changes the world as I know it. I have to be running after her and watching her like a hawk. I have to vacuum every day (2x yesterday) because she sees every little crumb or piece of lint on the ground and tries to put it her mouth. How do mothers do it? I think about what crawling means and don't even want to think about walking. And then what, we bring more little movers into the world and have our children going in all directions at once?
I went to the park today with our ward play group. Everyone else had at least one child walking and I was amused at watching them chase their children around the playground. This will be my life before I know it.
I suppose I should just embrace the present circumstances. When I put myself aside, it is a wonderful thing for Lucy to be able to move around. Think of all the doors it opens up in her world. She has to be so excited and loving life. I can handle the extra effort for her to be so happy. And I want her to grow and progress in all areas of life. This would include crawling so I need to be happy about her new found talent!

Yes, crawling makes things much more difficult I have discovered!! Axton and I have a lot more fun playing though because now I can act like I'm casing him and he chases me. It's definitely a love-hate relationship with crawling!
when the little one starts getting around it is definitely a blessing and a curse. just wait until she is walking/running/galloping. its a whole new world of having to have a constant eye on your babe.
That is really so exciting that she is crawling! It is always so much fun when they start to figure out the world...but then the novelty quickly wears off for the mama ;) You will get used to it before you know it and then it will be off to running, climbing, jumping, and non stop talking (during church). It is really exciting and so much fun to see your little ones grow and develop into a little person. Good luck mama, you are doing awesome!
That's so exciting!! She's no longer mobily challenged! Way to go Lucy!! I think its the most fun when they start pulling themselves up on to the couch and stuff! They seem to just take off from there! Good luck kels!
