On the Move

April 5, 2006 by Lisa

Well, we knew it was coming… Emma is crawling. It actually started hours after my last post (of course!), but that was only a few scoots. She is now moving across the floor, although she still doesn’t quite understand that this means she can go wherever she wants to… thank goodness! That gives us some time to baby proof! I have video to share, but I haven’t had time to look into how to get it on the blog, so bear with me. Hopefully I’ll get that up and running soon.

We also had to move our little bunny’s crib matress down since she is constantly trying to stand. After a few nights of worrying she might fall out or bang her head on the ledge, we finally moved it all the way down. And I think she likes it that way. The other day she didn’t call for me until 20 minutes after she woke up from her nap. She was having a good ‘ole time just playing with her binkie and her blanket. I heard her moving around and went upstairs to get her, but she didn’t even notice me. Usually she is staring at the door with those big blue eyes. This time it was me staring at her — she is so much fun to watch. I have also gotten better about letting her play by herself, and she really enjoys it. I even cleaned the entire downstairs yesterday without one complaint out of her. She’s such a good girl!

So, we’re doing great. Jeff went away this past weekend with our youth group, so I was a single mom for an entire weekend, which was interesting. We had lots of places to go, so it was a bit exhausting. Needless to say, it was really nice to have Jeff home Sunday night. I think Emma was getting sick of me! :o)

I am a great many things: a "mom in progress" to three beautiful girls; a wife to my favorite person; a daughter of Christ; a writer; a lover of good coffee; a recovering perfectionist; and a hopeful romantic learning to find peace and joy in God alone. This is my story and His story.
