Crawling is so last week, Mommy.

Me: Who are you, and what did you do with my nice, quiet, happy baby?
Megatherium: WHY AM I NOT STANDING UP?!? WHY DID I FALL DOWN?!? THERE IS A CAT!!! WHY CAN'T I EAT THE CAT?!?

I think we may be in for a loud few days. Crawling is fun and all, but up is where it's at, and oh the crankiness when these things don't work out. Also, increased mobility makes for increased ability to clonk oneself painfully in the head. And it turns out that when you bruise your forehead and then run face-first into your mother's legs, that hurts too. Who knew?

(We are trying not to reward her for crying by scooping her up to cuddle every time she bumps something or gets frustrated. Parenting is hard, too.)

I imagine that the additional mobility also keeps you busier!

And, yes, parenting is hard, too. (But so worth it, yes?)
