What it means to have a mobile child...

Breah has recently become mobile. At first it wasn't a big deal, she could roll here and there but for the most part was content to play wherever she landed. But after much practice, she is now scooting throughout the house . . . backwards! It's pretty sad when she sees something fun--she gets all excited and starts reaching for it, all the while getting further and further away. Sometimes she will reach her goal only after doing a lap around the room. Today while I was drying my hair she got herself stuck under the night stand (yes, I really need to dust!) and started whinning for help. But, being the mean mom I am, I left her and ran to find the camera.

So, now that she's moving around, I'm really going to have to start keeping a cleaner house! The other day my friend and her kids were here, and after they left I found little shreds of paper in the carpet. I thought I had picked them all up but later found a couple in Breah's diaper! So, although I wasn't in the market for one, we got ourselves a new human vacuum! It doesn't help that we have shaggy carpet that hides everything, I'm going have to start vacuuming a lot more!
