Kaylee crawled!

We were over at Eric's aunt and uncle's house visiting and Kaylee crawled for the first time! She was on her belly and had one foot sort of on the ground and the other leg dragged behind. Aunt C. gave her confidence by putting her hands on the bottom of her feet to give her something to push off from. She didn't need that the entire time she crawled though. As she made her way toward me she looked really happy. Then she got her feet under her and started to go backwards! She got this shocked look on her face and started whining and looking sad as she started to get further away from me instead of closer to her goal - Momma's lap!

I was so excited I was cheering her on big time. I was really happy that so many family members were there to witness it. Eric, his aunt, uncle, his cousin and cousin's wife were all there to enjoy it!

She is starting to move faster now. I think I won't be able to use the changing table any longer. I was playing with her on the floor and she wanted on my lap. So I picked her up and put her there and a second later she wanted down. I had my hands on her lower body but that wasn't enough... she face-planted onto the wood floor and got a little burn on her forehead. Poor little sweetie! I bet, unfortunately, that there are many more of these booboos in the future. I will remain vigilant and try to get used to it! Take care all. Hope you have a very Happy New year!
