Marlo crawls for the first time

I ended up luring her with a broken Cinderella phone (you can see me hand it to Leta at the end and she's all, "Marlo who? Daddy, It's not working!"), and you might want turn down your speakers, I get a little giddy.

So thankful my two oldest nieces could be there with us to witness this as well. It's like we were watching the Super Bowl.

    Yay! Adelaide crawled for the first time this week too!!! It's the best!!! Now's the time to get eye's in the back of your head, but you already know that.

    I love it when she crawls over to me now and gives me a big goobery kiss!

    So cute! I love how Leta is more concerned about the fake cell phone not working.

    Heather, I think you are as cute as Marlo in this video. I love your glee. My first was delayed and it was a long and tough path to that first crawl. So when #2 first crawled, I think I sounded a lot like you, LOL. and so it begins....

    Congratulations! Love that baby! She always makes me smile.

    Leta is totally over it.... now the real work of being the big sister will begin. Marlo will be in all her stuff; this will get very interesting.

    Lovely!
    I like the way Marlo's looking to see if it's ok that mom started squealing.
    Are those GLASSES on our Leta?!?
    How grown up is that?
    All the better to read with, my dear.
    And it looked like a new haircut, too.
    Beautiful family.

    Marlo is quite possibly the most beautiful baby girl I have EVER seen.

    Those eyes, that dimple, the belly laugh!

    What a neat day for you...congrats!

    Way to go, Marlo! The laughing video was great too (I should record voice memos of my kids laughing to play for myself when they're driving me crazy).

    I will not sully this occasion by transposing the audio over some other inappropriate activity, but you should be aware that one could totally do that.

    I love your blog and all, but I have to say, I don't really consider that as crawling. What is the big deal?
