Crawling Kate



We have crawling...kind of. Kate is able to lift her whole body up off of the floor, and to move her knees under her body. She can't really go anywhere yet - she does rock back and forth while she's up there. After much practice, she will even manage to scoot herself backwards just a little. Oh my - and we're not baby-proofed at all yet!

Sleep! Oh how we all miss it around here. Anissa was pretty sure that we'd found the right combination again to get our little one to sleep through the night. It seems that the Carter's sleeper with feet may be the key. She was in a sleep sack before and was waking every couple of hours. For the past couple of nights, we've listened to soft music (NO TV!), walked, rocked, binked, sushed, bounced, and resorted to swaddling over the sleeper - Yippee! Two nights of sleep in a row -- until last night. Last night she was so tired, that she fell asleep (in her Carter's sleeper) without the swaddle. Seems the swaddle has been the trick, not the Carter's sleeper (guess we can finally wash that Carter's sleeper with feet now).

Notice that "toybox" in the first photo? Kate REALLY enjoys emptying it out - anytime - all the time! No wonder parents get tired of cleaning up toys, seems like every time that I get all of her toys into her box, she flips it over and empties it again (Is this a first world problem, or what?).
