Standing up for her rights

For Nina, crawling was a minor milestone on the journey to her ultimate destination, which we can only assume is total world domination! Mere days after mastering the full-out hands and knees crawling, she started pulling up on things. This is a series from last weekend:

She is one motivated little babeinator! She has more or less figured out that she needs to hang on or else she will fall. Nevertheless, her poor little head has been getting pretty banged up. She doesn't know how to get down so after a while her face crumples and she cries until we help her get down.


The funny thing is that she isn't actually able to sit up unsupported yet. When she wants to play with a toy (or more likely munch on it) she holds out an arm or an elbow to balance herself. Sitting, not so interesting - standing, now that is the way to go!

"What?! I got places to go."

your home is no longer yours! things that were always on the bottom shelves will now slowly migrate to new places around the house. (Either that or just don't become too attached to them!) This is such amazing progress for your little one. She'll be joining Mirko on his runs before you know it and i don't mean in the jogging stroller! hugs and kisses. we miss you guys!
