I've been meaning to post this for a few week now but am just now getting around to it. My baby girl is getting SO big! She made a couple of developmental leaps while we were in Seattle. She started officially crawling and she had her first tooth break through! I am a little shaken by all of this at once. :) David's dad has two cats at his house and we believe that's what got her up and moving, she really wanted to chase them. This video was taken early in the morning on the 4th of July.
She had been running a slight fever and was a little touchy the first few days we were in Seattle then on Monday I saw a little sliver poking out of her gums! We were at the park playing and I said, "David Dean we have a tooth!" I was excited for her.
Natalie is exactly Cyrena's age when she got her first tooth. But Cyrena was about twice Natalie's age when she started crawling. She was definitely a late bloomer!
So now I am remembering what it's like to have a crawling baby into EVERYTHING. She has found and played with every doorstop, every dead bug, and enjoys smearing and swimming in her own spitup on the tile. Anytime you pick her up, she immediately swivels around and tries to get down or to see what's going on around her. She will not be contained now that she's had a taste of freedom.
Natalie feels that now she has a tooth so feeding her with a spoon is no longer necessary. She can mash food pretty well and is doing AMAZING picking up food and feeding herself. I LOVE this stage! She is also very vocal, social, and nosy. She always needs to know what her sister is up to.
Anyone have some freezer space? This girl is growing up too fast!

My baby is 2 today! It's so crazy. Our oldest will be 6 on Monday... can't hardly believe it. Your little sweetie is a doll face!
The crawling stage is bittersweet. On one hand, they can keep themselves entertained so much better, but they sure find trouble fast!
For some reason this didn't update until today on my blog so I'm just seeing it now. I love watching her, she's so entertaining and so cute!
oh my gosh she's so cute! I love your shock when she started crawling! She's a doll. So...no bum scooting for her?!
Wow... how time flies! I love the crawling stage -they are self-entertained with the simplest things!
How great!!! I love the excitement in your voice!! I love those little things we get excited about! Which reminds me I need to write in Gavin's baby book about his two teeth!! Oops!! :p
Hi, Jenna! This is Jennifer Hollibaugh! I can't believe how cute she is now. Such chubby cheeks! :) I haven't seen her since the day she was born. How have you guys been?
oh, man, life sure is different when they start crawling. They seriously do grow up too fast.
adorable pics! Wish we could have witnessed the crawling :) so, I don't know about you, well I do cuz I'm pretty sure you have AC, but we're dying here in OR. It's supposed to be 99 today and I srsly think I might quit life and live in the freezer...somehow. lol.
