CRAWLING, IS IT THAT EXCITING?

SO, LIKE MANY OTHER MOMS OUT THERE, I WAS SOOOO READY FOR PRESLEY TO START CRAWLING. YA KNOW, IT JUST GETS TO THAT STAGE WHEN THEY ARE SQUIRMY WHEN YA HOLD THEM, BUT CAN'T BE CONTENT WHEN THEY ARE ON THE FLOOR. IT SEEMS LIKE I HAVE BEEN FETCHING TOYS FOR HER TO PLAY WITH FOR YEARS, AND MANY TIMES ONLY TO FETCH MORE BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T LIKE WHAT I BRING HER. I DON'T KNOW WHY I GET SO EXCITED FOR THEM TO CRAWL, BUT OBVIOUSLY ITS BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER HOW MISCHIEVOUS THEY ARE WHEN THEY DO!

MY BABY HAS ACTUALLY BEEN CRAWLING FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW, SHE REALLY TOOK OFF FAST, JUST ONE DAY SHE DID IT, AND MAN THEY GET SO FAST! IT WAS NICE TO BEGIN WITH ( AHA, THAT'S WHY I GET EXCITED) BUT AS SOON AS SHE FIGURED OUT THAT SHE COULD REALLY GO PLACES, THE EXCITEMENT TURNED INTO MORE OF AN EXTRA TASK. PRESLEY'S FAVORITE HOT SPOT IS THE BATHROOM CUPBOARD, WHICH UNTIL SHE FOUND THE TAMPONS WAS GREAT, THERE ARE JUST BATH TOYS AND LOTIONS AND SUCH UNDER THERE, HARMLESS REALLY, I THOUGHT. HER SECOND HOT SPOT IS MY TREE, AND YES, SHE PULLS ALL THE FLUFFY STUFF OUT AND SPREADS IT ALL OVER THE FLOOR. I AM ONE OF THOSE FIRM BELIEVERS THAT YES, YOU HAVE TO PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM THINGS THAT CAN HURT THEM, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IN RE-DECORATING MY HOUSE! I LIKE MY THINGS AND TO BE HONEST NOTHING IN MY HOUSE WITHIN CHILD'S REACH WOULD BE UN REPLACEABLE. SO, I GUESS FOR NOW, SHE'LL HAVE TO PLAY WITH TAMPONS AND EAT DIRT OUT OF MY TREE. WHEN DO THEY WALK? I CANT WAIT.
