Wiggle Worm

Makenzie has been moving for about 3 weeks now. Slowly, but still, she would get up on all fours and scoot forward. She is really good now! She really figured it out two days ago. She will chase after a ball on the floor. She had one that she was playing with while I was making dinner, and when I looked over, she had made it to the other side of the room. She had such a blast letting the ball go, watching it roll, and then crawl after it. It was too cute to watch! So now we have to be really careful with what is left on the floor by big brother and sister! Connor pushed her over this morning because Makenzie had crawled over to his father's day card. Uh oh.. big no no Connor! He will learn quick enough to keep things out of Makenzie's reach. This morning Makenzie crawled over to a moving box and pulled herself up on it!!! She is growing too fast. She had been holding herself up on stand up toys and pulling herself up and over me when I sit on the floor with her. But this was the first time that she pulled herself up onto something with no help. Last night Jaron said that with a little help from him, she pulled herself up onto the bed, so she could play with Connor and Lilian. Makenzie is clinging to me all day long. If I put her down, she screams. If she is content, and I pass by her, she screams! If Jaron trys to take her to give me a break, she screams! I have to get stuff down at night when she goes to bed, because it is impossible to do much during the day with her! I do love her though. Life is just really busy right now with packing, cooking (gluten free meals), cleaning, playing with kids etc.. Last Friday I got lots done when my friend Valerie took the two older ones while Makenzie napped. That was really nice! I got lots done tonight, so hopefully this week the kids and I can enjoy this week here in Grants Pass!
