come to mama
Slowly but surely.So, there you have it ladies and gentlemen. Our little Stella is finally crawling at almost 13 months of age. Yeah Stella! She started last Monday while I was at my sister's house. I think she liked the wide open spaces. Stella has really taken off this last month in the gross motor skills category. At her 12 month doctor visit she was testing right on track with everything but gross motor (physical skills), which she was testing at about a 9 month level. So now Stella is not only crawling but she can also sometimes pull herself up to furniture. She may be slow, but at least now she is showing some progress and trying hard in the process. I thought this was never going to happen, and that she may go straight to standing and walking , which is okay, but crawling is good brain exercise. I am stoked! I know I am over a week late to post this, but poor little Stella's been sick with a persistent fever, so she hasn't even felt up to practicing her new skills. But as soon as she is herself again, I'm sure she'll just keep taking off and pulling more tricks from her sleeve. Let's cross our fingers.

Woohoo! Go Stella! Move it, girl! Love the pacifier by the way - I didn't tell you that they don't sell the funky ones anymore, I've been to 3 BabiesRUs and none have them.
Nathan's moving around on his hands and knees a little bit, but it's not a crawl per se, it's a very strange knee-dragging scoot.
We've got our own issues here: I found out he's falling off the weight percentile charts in the wrong direction, so now I'm on a campaign to fatten up my extremely picky eater.
If it's not one thing, it's another, right?
yeah Stella! I hope she gets feeling better so she can see all the wonders of mobility.
and thanks for sending me the zoo and crying pics. I love them!
Way to go Stella!!! Before long she will be into everything and you will long for the non-mobile days...
Hooray for Stella bella. Just in time for the new house and stairs. ALL the fun things. Let me when you guys are moving so we can help. Talk to you soon. Baby mama is calling my name and hopefully a few other girls out there. later
Apparently I can't write correctly. I meant to say "let me KNOW when you guys are moving so we can help. Just wanted to clarify. I should probably check it before I post it, not after. ha ha.
Hey Amy, I found your blog via Keri Allred's, anyway, just took a look and your girls are so cute! They are getting so grown up. Yay for the crawling!! So fun!!

How exciting! I'm sure that she'll be walking before no time. Matthew was that way with his language. He didn't speak until a little bit later, but when he did, he took off! They all go at their own pace, and at their own time. She's beautiful, Amy!
Now that they are both officially on the move, it's too bad we can't get them together to race. :)
Yeah Stella! She is so so cute!! Jenna didn't crawl until 13 months as well, she had no interest in exploring everything around her! However, that is no longer the case! Now we can't keep her by us at all. Oh how quickly our children grow!! :) I hope Stella is feeling better!
