buh-bye! (plus some gimme-fives)

wait for it...it takes a few seconds to get the buh-bye out...


WORDS ARE OUR FRIENDS!

sorry for the lack of pictures lately, videos are my way of lazy blogging. there really hasn't been too much going on here lately, nothing really to take pictures of...it's overcast and chilly outside all the time and i can't wait for it to warm up!

i love my hubby because...

he gets me cute flowers, buys me an awesome *cordless!* glue gun for all my crafting he puts up with, draws me cute cards with a glue gun in the shape of a heart, and acts surprised when he opens the shoes i got him for valentine's that he picked out.

i also love him because he takes pictures with me at one in the morning.

SHE CRAWLS!

yes, at the ripe old age of 16 months penny has finally started to crawl.

we've been working with her for about 4-5 months on this and she FINALLY started crawling on her own last night. i realize that this is twice as long as other babies normally take to crawl but for pete's sake i don't care i'm so excited!!

it was all about the motiviation. her physical therapist said that was key, so last night we were using her regular toys and she just wasn't interested. then we got out the grown-up toys, i.e. keys, cell phone, and all of a sudden BAM she was on the move without any help from us at all.

here's a video of her crawling this morning:


it's a slow little crawl but I LOVE IT. i'm starting to feel a teensy bit less inadequate as a mother.

now about that walking thing...
