Only one day late

I know I said the blog would be updated on the 11th, but I did say sometime 'around then' to cover myself for this. Yes, it's one day late! Mom was far too lazy to blog last night, but here it is. And for what you've all been waiting for, yes, Michaela started crawling and pulling herself up to stand the day after Daddy left for his course!

Here's Michaela with her first library books. She seemed really impressed with them.

And here she is crawling! As seen from the back.

And from the front!

Daddy says Michaela has changed way more in this two weeks than in the two weeks to America. He thinks she's gone from a baby to a little girl. And I suppose he's right in loads of ways - her movement (obviously); the way she 'speaks'; Mom finally got her to nearly sleep all night and even if she wakes up, nobody has to go to her, she'll fall asleep again on her own; even just the way she plays now and for how long she'll entertain herself. Mom thinks the reason is because she was too tired and lazy while Dad was away, so Michaela had to grow up a bit!
