Fun with GiGi

This week Grandmother Constance came to visit and Kaylin discovered all sorts of new things. This was a big week in Kaylie's little life. I should start by saying that she was sick this week with a pretty nasty cold. When I say nasty, I mean thick green snot, red puffy eyes, restless sleep nasty. You're welcome for that visual. And yes, feel free to feel sorry for her mama. Kaylin was actually a trooper. It knocked the energy out of me, though.
Anyway...back to Kaylin's Big Week. Because of her cold, we ended up spending most of our days at home. With plenty of floor play time with mama and GiGi, she started to crawl. Woah. Hello outlet covers. Good-bye computer chord. Googleing: baby safety gates.
She's been getting herself into a pike position with her toes on the floor and her butt up in the air and then she would sort of drop to her knees. Several days of that action led to her holding herself up on all fours, rocking back and forth a little. From there, she slowly figured out how to move her hands with her knees which is what you can see in the video.
We took this video on Wednesday and by today she's really crawling. Not for very long, and pretty slowly, but she's not dropping to her stomach each step.



On Friday, we three gals went to lunch and mom suggested I give her my pickle to keep her occupied. She was so adorable. She wasn't really sure if she liked the taste at first, but once she figured out how to hold it herself, she was all about it. Gobbled it right up!
