Moving and Shaking

Well, its official, Ireland is a crawler.

At Thanksgiving, Ireland started crawling backwards. Yes, on all fours, backwards. Since then she has tried to crawl forward. By Christmas she was up on all fours, rocking, pulling a leg up and then...she'd stop. She just didn't seem to make the connection between her hands going forward and actually moving.

When we were in PA, she started to crawl forward, doing it a lot for Pop on Friday before we left. But now since we've been home, she's definitely refining this art form. Daycare is in for it! Ireland's teachers have said she could get wherever she wanted, by rolling and crawling backwards and even rotating around on all fours.

It seems however that she is less interested in crawling and way more interested in standing up. She does this 'downward dog' thing ALL the time. She is constantly trying to standup. I've had about 4 heart attacks just today watching her try do this.

This morning dad let me sleep in. I woke up an hour later to hearing Ireland scream 'DADA, DADA DADADDDADDAA'. I'm not sure yet that she is calling MP Dada, but man, she can say Dada.

How does this time fly so fast? How can we slow it down?
