And she's off!!!!




After several weeks of practice, Caroline finally got the confidence she needed to take off crawling! I had waited and watched her anxiously for weeks even getting down and crawling on the floor beside her in hopes she would be a visual learner. As it always works, when we let our children do something on their own terms, they succeed! She finally took off and within 3-4 days, she was crawling around to every room in the house. She is so proud of herself..always smiling while crawling. I will walk into a different room to do something and within seconds, here comes my sweet baby girl panting towards mama! She wears herself out-her poor knees-she doesn't care if the floor is carpeted or not. She always has red knees now, but it's still the cutest thing I've ever seen! We are proud of you baby girl-we knew you could do it!

  1. Adorable!! They grow up so fast. Knox is eating baby food. He hates it!

  2. Caroline wasn't into her baby food at first either. It took her about 2 months before she was doing good with it and liked it. Have you tried Beechnut baby food? She doesn't like the Gerber stuff. The beechnut seems to have better taste. She's eating some table food too and loves it! They do grow up too fast!

  3. I haven't tried Beechnut. I started mixing it with cereal and he seems to eat it better. I'm ready for him to start drinking whole milk. This formula is getting expensive. Oh well, I shouldn't rush it. I guess I should've nursed him longer. I've got about five more months left!

  4. I know what you mean with the formula. I nursed Drew for several months and Caroline only a couple. It's great when they go from 23.00 formula every few days to a 3.00 gallon of milk! We are anxious for that too. If you use Similac or Enfamil, are you signed up for the coupons they send??? They will send you 2-3 $5.00 off coupons ever so often. It helps a little!
