Crawling Everywhere!



My brown-eyed girl

Audrey has been crawling now for about two weeks or so and she's loving every minute! She's always so busy exploring everything. She loves to crawl to the back door and look out the window, just like the dogs! Speaking of dogs, I was really worried how they might react to her once she started crawling. Brody has been great! She'll crawl up to him and pull his hair, grab his feet or his nose and he doesn't seem to mind. In fact, yesterday she crawled up to him and he immediately rolled over onto his back in submission - what a good dog! Oscar, now he's a different story. He kind of ignores her, which of course makes Audrey even more intrigued by him. So she'll crawl up to him and he'll just kind of stare her down. If she gets too close or touches him, he'll give her a warning growl. We'll need to keep those two separated...


Pensively looking out the window.

With crawling comes discipline! We've been trying to teach Audrey what she can and can't touch in the house and what "no" means...I think she's figuring it out.
Other new developments - assisted walking! She loves to hold onto your hands and walk. She is getting really good. I think it's only a matter of time before she's walking everywhere (and getting into everything!). She has also figured out clapping. For a while, she would hit my hand with her hand, but couldn't quite hit her own hand. Now she's clapping all the time - so cute! She continues to be a very happy and easy-going baby - we are so lucky and blessed! I just pray that it continues!
