We are crawling!

This kid is growing so fast! She started scoot crawling last Monday and in one week she is rocking on her knees and ready to start crawling that way! And let me tell you, she is fast!! It only takes her a few seconds to get where she is going.  I have almost everything baby poofed I think. Except the kitchen. I try really hard to keep her out of there for now. Not really sure how long that will last but I can't really do much because we are renting our town house and I dont want to have to pay for new cabinets because Of baby proofing. I can't really put a gate up because the dogs have their food in there and need to be able to access it. So, for now I just have to do my best to keep her out. I was able to keep the under the sink cabinets closed because the handles meet together and I can band them. But all the others are single cabinets.

She is also very good at pulling herself up.....ON EVERYTHING!! If it has an edge to grab ahold of she grabs it. We have been getting a few boo boo's too because of this. Poor girl keep hitting her head on toys. She is so determined though. She gets right back up and tries again. Unless its a big hit. Then she screams bloody murder. :-/ I try very hard to keep this from happening but I just can't always be right there. So she has a few bumps and bruises. I hope people don't think I;m abusing her or something. 

We lowered the crib all the way down. I was getting really nervous she was gunna pull herself up and fall over the edge! I'm just waiting for the day I walk in there and she is standing up! I'm sure its just around the corner. She hasn't figured out how to go to a sitting position from laying down yet though. But the rails in her crib are going to be a good help at teaching her. 

My parents are coming in town on Friday. I'm so excited for them to see how much she has changed. They haven't seen her in person since christmas. We do FaceTime at least once a week. What a wonderful advantage of living in this generation, right? Emma Loves FaceTime! She thinks the Ipad is hers and gets very angry when I won't let her hold it. Anyway, we are going to try and go to the city. There is so much to do in New York and we haven't done hardly anything. I was VERY pregnant when we moved out here. And it was not easy to take a newborn out to do stuff especially in the winter. This weekened is supposed to be nice and Emma is finally old enough to take out and enjoy a day without worring. I think we will either go to the aquarium or the museum of natural history. Not sure yet. Anyway, I'm excited for Friday to get here. :) 

That's all I have for now. Just wanted to brag about her crawling, lol. I have video but I can't upload those so here are a few fun pictures.
