Crazy Crawling Fool

Its True! Its True! We have a crawler. At 7 months and 2 weeks Allyson is crawling. I would have pictures for you but our digital camera isn't functioning at the moment. So hopefully we can upload a video to suffice the need to see this great big news. On Friday Allyson looked liked she took a crawl on our bed, but we didn't count it. Sat. Allyson got up on all fours and rocked 2 times and didn't want anything to do with being on all 4's after rocking. We went down to Kalamazoo after I got out of work on Sat. We attempted to get her to crawl but had no real success's. Grandmas toys weren't to enticing. However she did get to play in her walker her grandpa bought for her and she loved it. Sunday morning we were all in the living room and Grandpa was in his chair reading the newspaper and setting down the section on the floor he was through with in what was a nice neat pile. I was on the floor sitting with Allyson talking to my mom. The next thing I know Allyson is up on all 4's and crawling...one step..two steps, 3 steps, 4 steps, 5 steps...ahh there is this shiny newspaper and I can reach it now, she stretches out grasp it and the proceeds to sit up and play with it. We would move her back away from the pile and she would crawl right back to it and make a very neat area a disaster zone. It wasn't long before newspaper was all over the place. As the afternoon went on Allyson continued to crawl 4 or 5 steps. Then we went for a visit to the Tanksley grandparent side. She crawled all over the place in the living room and everytime she moved she would get faster and faster, with each step she took. She is growing up too fast...now if only we can get her to take a sippy cup...
