Bumps and Bruises

It is absolutely crazy to me that Hallie has only been crawling for a little over a week. Her mobility has doubled over the last few days. When she first started crawling she would only inch herself along a little ways and then cry until someone moved her to where she wanted to be. Now, I'll put her down in the living room and walk into the kitchen and she'll be pulling at my legs by the time I'm pouring milk into my cereal. She has gotten so fast. And getting into everything. She's not pulling herself up to a standing position yet, but she'll pull herself up to her knees, which is enough for her to get what she wants. Bath time has become...interesting. It's become more like a battle trying to clean her off while she's crawling around and pulling everything off the sides of the tub. And today, after laying her down in her crib for her nap, I walked back in a few minutes later because she was crying and found her sitting up in the corner. So now we play the lay down/sit up game when it's nap time. It's been so fun watching her develop into this little busy bee. It's extremely tiring, and she's already gotten a few head bumps (dang bathtub) but its rewarding to see how proud she is when she accomplishes something!
