Creepy Crawler


Clover has done it. After many weeks of scooting, hopping, and wiggling she has finally learned to crawl. Well, sort of... She can get around now, which I wanted so bad for her but now I'm rethinking that wish because the minute she figured it out she was going for dog toys, dog bowls, electric sockets and computer cords! Yeah, the fun has begun. But, she hasn't quite got her technique down so good because she kind of pulls one leg and drags the other. It's actually quite funny. She has also decided that since she can crawl that she doesn't want to waste any time and is also trying to pull herself up now too (which kinda scares me because I just picture her face planting on something and busting up those 2 little budding teeth out of her mouth). Well, just when I get used to one of her stages, she goes onto another one.

Splish Splash!













Clover went swimming for the first time this past weekend. We went to our friend Sandra's house and hit the pool. She did absolutely great and didn't have any problems with it at all. We splashed around, and got to borrow this little floater from our friend Sara's 18 month old daughter Ava. I even put Clover under the water for a split second to see how she'd react. She just batted her eyes and looked at me like, what did you do to me mom. She is almost 8 months now and has really come alive with personality and curiosity and nothing seems to really faze her.
