Thats right folks. Allie is now crawling forward. Our lives are forever changed.
Over the weekend, Allie also figured out how to sit herself up. So with these two milestones come the possibility that she will get hurt. I am sure this will affect Doug and me more than her! The first time she sat up on Sunday, she immediately toppled over and hit her head on the coffee table. So we've said goodbye to the coffee table.
I can't believe my baby is crawling! Doug and I are hoping she gives us a little grace period before she starts walking. We're working on the babyproofing for real this time, and realizing that soon the living room will be empty. The coffee table is in the basement and we have another glass top table that needs to be moved as well. We've ordered some replacement coffee tables that Allie won't be able to pull down when she starts grabbing things to stand up. We need to remove a plant and the stereo, soften the places she could fall and lock drawers she could open.
I'm hoping to have some video to post soon. We will have plenty of opportunities! Unfortunately they may not happen until next weekend because Allie goes to bed so early. It makes us sad because we don't have much time to play when she goes to bed at 7!
Go, Allie, Go! I can't believe she's sitting and crawling forward now. It wasn't that long ago that we saw her and rolling over was her big trick.
