She's a Pretty Little Monster...and Quick Too!

Annabelle does something new everyday. This week, she started making monster noises and perfected her crawl.

Now I know what you're thinking...another eating video?!?!? No...this is not an eating video. She had just FINISHED eating and started making these noises, so I grabbed the camera. Can I help it if some of her greatest moments happen in the highchair??? I don't know what was in those sweet potatoes, but something brought out the little monster in her!

By the way, she has been eating quite a bit lately and has gained a little more weight. Yesterday, she and Jacob visited the doctor for their ear check-ups (no more infections...yay!) and Annabelle weighed 14 pounds, 9 ounces.

She's been trying to crawl for a while. We actually caught her first crawl on camera a couple weeks ago. We used the other video camera though, and it's a little more complicated to transfer videos to the computer using that one. Anyway.....she only went a couple steps before stopping to play. She actually didn't crawl for a couple days after that. This week, she has been on a mission to get going again and her determination has paid off. She is officially on the move! We can't keep anything out of her reach anymore because she'll go after it, even if it is on the other side of the room!

Here she is in action. Notice the way she moves her left leg. So funny!

A few days later......

She improves more and more each day. Jacob is learning that if he doesn't want her to eat his toys, he better put them up where they belong. I am hoping Annabelle's crawling will ignite a fire in the clean up department. He is not so good at picking up his toys. Now, he will be forced to pick them up or his little sister will take them for herself!
