She's a movin'!!! Yep, Jenna is now crawling and has been for the past few weeks. She's quite good at it and now she's pulling herself up. She loves climbing over and on top of things - anything really. She also loves standing. That's all she wants to do anymore is crawl over to something and pull herself up. Drew's even seen her take a few steps next to the couch. Wow!

I had to show you these next two pictures (even though they're a few months old). Jenna used to always put her fingers in her mouth upside down. She's never been a thumb sucker - really any finger or fingers will do for her.



This next group of pictures were taken August 24th, just after she started crawling.



And here's Bailey... He follows Jenna and myself everywhere we go and the ottoman is "his spot" in Jenna's room. Whether we're playing in there or I'm nursing her, he always has to sit on the ottoman. And he's even picky about it. There can't be anything on it or he'll just stand next to it and bark until you move the items. What can I say...he's our first-born so he's a little spoiled. ;)


This is usually what happens when I get the camera out. She has a fascination with cameras and phones. As soon as she noticed the camera, she crawled over to see if she could play with it.



Here's some "proof" of Jenna wanting to climb and crawl over EVERYTHING. Her favorite is to climb under the table and chairs. Sometimes she'll get stuck and will fuss until I get her free.



Now that she is crawling, Drew and I have had to officially babyproof the house. A gate is up at the top of the stairs (which Bailey is still trying to get used to), the outlets have been plugged, and small objects have been moved up higher. However, the one thing that I can't really move (at least not permanently) that Jenna LOVES to get is Bailey's food and water bowls. We can be in the other room and know when Jenna sees the bowls on the floor because she starts panting and crawling at super speed to get to them. A few times I've had to dig a piece or two of dog food out of her mouth and a couple other times she's bathed herself with Bailey's drinking water. We're getting pretty used to keeping those off the floor though, but that's just something else Bailey's having to adjust to now.

Well, my little girl is finished eating her pears and raspberries for dinner, so I'd better get her cleaned up!
