Maggnificent Monday

34

Well, we had a wonderful weekend. We made it through the week, Maggie getting more and more back to normal. Toward the end of the week she was only getting up twice in the night to eat and going back to sleep right away. And she's almost always such a happy baby during the day. She was an angel for the babysitters (aka, grandparents) on Saturday evening so we could go out on our anniversary. And on Sunday morning she smiled through a car ride, a T ride, a long wait at the train station, another T ride, another wait, a trolley ride, an hour and a half walk/nap in her backpack, a final T ride, and the car trip home. She must be through with this tooth!

I think we're starting on the next one. Last night was reminiscent of the beginnings of Mt. Incisor I. There are no visible signs yet of Mt Incisor II, but I feel like the inevitable is on the horizon.

Excitingly, she's moving through her crawling lessons like a whiz! Top of her class, I'd say. When properly motivated (read, "when there's a dog sitting a couple paces away"), she'll jerk her legs and arms into motion and motor on over. Most of the time she takes a couple steps (or hands) and then sits back; rocks forward a bit; sits back; rocks forward; sits back. She's very accomplished at sitting from the all-fours position now. And every day she looks less and less like one of those spazzed-out, legs-going-everywhere beetles when she's doing the crawling thing. Already she's entertaining herself more by being a little bit independent. This is exciting news for Mom! Until she learns to be independently getting into trouble, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
