Most of you know I am a little concerned about Lilah's crawling. She just won't crawl like a typical baby, she loves to army crawl. So I have been consulting with an Occupational Therapist that I work with on ways to develop her crawling skills. The OT's recommendation - work on climbing to increase strength in her arms/lower back and alternating weight in her legs.
Well, I think Lilah has mastered climbing and taken it too the next level. Apparently, our work has paid off. While Mike and I were in the kitchen preparing dinner the little dare devil went from the floor to the lift top table in no time. Lilah didn't even seem to mind that the chair she climbed on was a rocking chair. In fact she held on tight and was rocking like crazy. She was very proud of herself (secretly so was mommy)!! She may not crawl properly, but the girl can climb :)
Yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch with the whole family. It was wonderful. I love this time of year. There is so much to do and see. I told Mike before we went that having kids is the best because it makes you get out and do all the things you loved to do as a child.
I had to go into the office this morning so Mike stayed home with Lilah. I think these times are good for Mike and Lilah as they don't get as much one on one time. It gives Mike a taste of whats its like to be the primary parent. Not that he doesn't help (A LOT) but he doesn't always get to do the things like feeding, and dressing. So anyways, I go to pick up Lilah and my dear daughter was looking................well she was looking :) Notice the backwards onesie, the overall's which are several months too small, and the 0-6 month booties. Oh well, at least she was dressed, fed, happy, and still looking cute!
