Children Update: We Got A Crawler
February 24, 2011 – Day of the first tooth (GC 5 months, 3 weeks) and day of the first university acceptance letter (N17).
February 26, 2011 – “We got a crawler, we got a crawler, we got a crawler, hey hey hey hey!!” (Tune from Little Rascals dollar song.) Been off and on for a couple weeks now, because she still uses tummy lunges to gain distance. She will be six months old next week. We watched videos of C9 walking at nine months the other day. It is funny how all five children reached almost every milestone within about a month of each other. They all started as BIG babies with the smallest two at 8 lbs. 6 1/2 oz. and 8 lbs. 7 3/4 oz., a nine pounder (9 lbs. 1 oz.), and two ten pounders (10 3 3/4 and 10 lbs. 2 oz.). We missed the “infant” stage with ALL of them.
I was nursing the baby in my room, and L6 came in to say this (with a huge smile and giggle), “Mommy, I don’t know why I am so happy!!!” And he bounced away to play.
February 27, 2011 – Baby GC (almost six months) and Pippin
In the above video, she crawled a little way before I started recording… And yes she did grab the cat – by his foot – gently!
Hey, this is the song I mentioned above that I sing with different words all the time:
The Little Rascals: We Got a Dollar!
I laid the baby down on her belly and left the room for a minute, and when we came back, she was sitting up alone playing with her toys.
