Crawling

Kate is crawling!!! She has been doing the push backward thing for a while now. The boys are always on the floor trying to get her to go forward. Well, on Saturday, they got her to do it. It was just a hand, hand, knee, belly but it was defiantly forward. It didn't take long for it to be hand, hand, knee, knee. And the rest is history.
She has discovered that she can get places today. She can finally get to what she sees, meaning, paper, garbage that I can't see, books, crayons, markers and just about anything she can put in her mouth. She is very cute!
Nate and I were talking about it and she is the first one to do the tradition crawl right off the bat. Tucker did the "stink bug" crawl, Thadd rolled to what ever he wanted and Norma army crawled. But it is so fun to watch her just crawl that we get the biggest kick out of it.
It won't be long before she is faster and braver to start trying the stairs. We never thought that we would have to baby proof our house and now we have too. And soon! Christmas is going to be fun. NOT! No presents under our tree or ornaments under the 2 foot mark.
Next thing she will be walking and then my baby won't be my baby anymore. :(
Oh, Norma is talking in the background too about her hair clip pulling at her hair. The yelling is a new thing Kate likes to do now. I think it is just her way of being part of the family and getting people to pay attention to her. Walle is the only one not happy about Kate's crawling. He is now missing fists full of fur, and he can't understand why we have been on the floor, making excited noises and then telling him to move out of the way. Poor Walle.
