locomotion

Come on baby, do the locomotion...if you can identify the artist of that song you should hide your head in shame! I had nothing to do with the fact that she shares my first name.

Anyway, here in Maeve land we are working on locomotion. Maeve definitely wants to walk, she just has not been handed those skills just yet. She's been holding on to furniture and moving around some and will gladly tip-toe around if you give her a little support. Walking is just around the corner. For now she is crawling. Army crawling days are over though, big girl crawl is here.

Boy can that girl can move. She has the bruises all over her body, mostly her shins to prove it. I have to admit it's pretty darn cute to see her hustling across the park to see what the other kids are up to. Once she gets there she isn't even aware that she's still too small to play. Mama has to step in and redirect her focus. I'm sure those days will be here soon enough.

Other forms of locomotion. Maeve is really digging the swing these days. A month or so ago she thought it was cool and would take a push or two. Now she is happy to be pushed in the swing for 10-15 minutes. I think she'll take after me and like roller coasters and crazy upside down rides. Mark can stay on the ground and keep an eye on all our stuff while Maeve and I throw up our arms and scream into the wind as we roar down the coasters together.

Well, that's it for now. Sorry the posts have been few and far between this past month. The days are full with the day-in-day-out life stuff. I'll try to make September more exciting.
