Inch worm: Excitment or Dread?

There are those moments as a father that are a blessing and a curse. We are ever encouraged by Alex's development... she seems ahead of the curve most of the time. We are relatively certain that she is the smartest, cutest, most world dominating baby to come along since records started being kept on such matters. But, there are times, when her baby steps toward baby steps just make me feel like it is all slipping away.

Remember when she was just a lump? Remember when you could put her on the floor to play and go do the dishes? Remember when we had "lots of time to worry about baby-proofing the house"? Those fleeting days have gone my friend. She is, for lack of a better term (and even though I don't think she even knows how she does it), mobile.



Watch out stuffed frog... beware Mr. Woodface... take heed dirty shoes of all shapes and sizes... she is coming for you!

Such a big girl!!! I love the army crawl. And yes, it is sad that she is mobile and it hard to do dishes now, but a whole new world is opening up for her and it will be fun to just "sit back" and watch her learn.

Look at her go! I am impressed. I definately think she's ahead of all those other babies. And, even though you can't see her face, she looks so determined.

Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how frickin' funny Daddy Wes is?! This blog is so much better than anything on TV. You guys should charge . . .
