She couldn't leave well enough alone...

Lulu is in full crawling mode. She is faster now, though still pretty methodical. One reason she is slow is that she gets easily distracted. The toy. The dog's tail. That delicious piece of lint. I'm afraid I need to vacuum more often. When I was feeling sad about transitioning to the mobile stage, I was only focusing on her crawling away from me, but I neglected to think about the fun of having her crawl to me...

I love that part. And I have adjusted.

But then she immediately goes and pulls this on me...

(I especially love the Yoga Baby move above)

She is now upwardly mobile!

I don't mean to not celebrate her development. It is a blessing for which I am grateful and that some parents long for their children to experience. It's just not what I expected. I thought she'd crawl around for a month or two and THEN start pulling up. I didn't realize that she would go from 0-100 in 60 seconds.

This means my coffee table decorations are a thing of the past because she does this...

The hand declares her intent

We have lift-off!

"Oh look, something i could choke on"
"Since Mommy took the flower away, I'll just nibble on this leaf"

"And drool on the Word of God"

I must say, she really has some pretty good moves...

So now I introduce to you, my Lulu-proofed coffee table...
Empty.

Have at it, little sister!
