Celebrating Our Independence

From 2009-7-1


As we give thanks and celebrate our freedom today Miss Grace tries to create a little freedom of her own. Her walker allows her to explore the kitchen without much restraint (as I write this she is stretching out of her walker as far as she can reach and opening kitchen cabinets.) However, I can see her drooling with anticipation for her exploratory freedom to extend to the rest of the house.

Yesterday she attempted crawling but resigned to "squirming" across the floor when she couldn't make her arms and legs work in unison. She doesn't sit up on her own yet, but I think it's because she's sooooo wiggly.

From eating sweet potatoes (an entire container last night) to chasing Libby around the kitchen in her walker to splashing in the pool, I just can't believe how quickly she's growing up.
