Okay, so now she is doing this Marine belly-crawl thing like she is trying to sneak up on somebody. It's more like she is dragging herself around with her elbows. But she is finally mobile and I can tell it will only get worse. She is constantly moving now. When we try to sit her down, she braces her legs straight and won't bend her hips. We either have to force her, or lay her flat on her back - all because she doesn't want to sit anymore. If she has something to hold onto, like the coffee table, she will walk all the way around it. She is constantly getting into something, and now I see the true importance of not taking your eyes off your children. How quickly she can get into something; it's scary! Check out the new videos...

Paige is still our little toothless wonder. She still rocks back and forth on her hands and knees sometimes but now seems to prefer standing up and practicing her balance. She loves to hold on to fingers and practice taking steps around the room. We had to lower the crib this morning because she has discovered the fun of pulling down the crib bumper so she can see out, and then leaning over the top rail to try to reach the dogs when they come into her room. She loves any kind of dog but doesn't seem to be into cats that much. Tomorrow she has a playdate at Grandmom and Granddad's house.

We bought a minivan. 'Nuff said.
