You’re motorin’! What’s your price for flight?*
I believe I mentioned that Bella took her first steps on Christmas day at my Mom’s place. Since then, she hasn’t stopped moving! She’s gone from tentative walking and falling over and then crawling to a stationary object to get back up to walking at a pace that is approaching a run and now if she happens to take a tumble she’s up before we figure out how she fell. It’s insane how fast they learn! She still enjoys crawling occasionally, but it’s getting less and less and is primarily when I’m chasing her or she’s chasing a ball or toy.
She got so many new toys for Christmas (and at the post-Christmas sales – ahem) and then for her birthday that our living room is positively busting at the seams. We chose not to have a playroom and allow the kids to play through the entire house so it’s easy for things to get carried away. If we’re not careful it looks like Toys R Us puked in our living room. For that reason, I purge toys frequently and either donate or sell them. We got a few things that will never be purges because of their lasting potential through the ages. Most of those toys are either of the building or musical type, but there are exceptions like the Parents Busy Zoo that she got from my Mom for her birthday. Every kid that walks in the house goes straight for it, from 6 months to 6 years.

That’s awesome that she’s running! Life got easier when they sat up, and even easier when they learned to walk. Now mine are alternating between playing together and fighting – LOL! Way to go Bella!

Yes, I do have the song stuck in my head now!
How is it a baby can go from crawling to running in less than a month? But they do!
