We've had a busy last couple of weeks so it's time to get the blog up to date. Here are a few BIG things: Lakely officially has two teeth on the bottom now! Lately she's been enjoying some Gerber Graduate snacks like a big girl.
Another thing she's been doing is pulling up in her crib all by herself. I always put her in the crib to play while I fold her laundry and the other day I look over and she's standing there with the most satisfying look on her face and the gummiest grin you've ever seen! I was shocked, but oh so proud :)
At school last week we were given the big news of her moving up to the Crawler class March 1st. It's bitter sweet, but I know she'll learn much more being around the "big" kids as opposed to all the infants that surround her in the class currently. We'll speak more on that in a couple of weeks once it's official...
Speaking of Crawler class, our princess has finally shown some interest in crawling!! For the longest we were sure that she would go straight to walking since she'd been taking steps (with help of course), for a month or so. Within the past few days though, she has been on all fours rocking. Friday, she was even "crawling" backwards! I would say that its considered crawling; she was on her knees pushing back with her arms...that counts, right?
This weekend she also had her first experience with SNOW! She didn't get out in it, but she sure figured out that snow means COLD since we were without electricity for 17 hours! Boy it was a waste of a Saturday! We all wore many layers and took cat naps all day. I'm sure there were numerous chores we could have done while waiting for the power to come back on, but we acted as though everything that needed to be done involved electricity...looking back, that is far from true! Ha!
Grandma came to visit Lakely about a week ago and the two seemed to really enjoy each other's company. We are looking forward to some more family time VERY soon!
