So Alethea has made major strides in her crawling and pulling herself up on furniture skills the past few days.  Just about an hour ago I was cleaning up after lunch while Alethea played with her toys in the living room and when I turned around, I realized I could see her little face looking over at me from our trunk coffee table.  She was standing next to it!  I didn’t know she could pull up on anything that high off the ground, but I guess she can!  Yikes!

I feel like I can hardly look away from her because she can now get up on stuff, but she doesn’t know how to get back down without hurting herself.  Not only that, but she has the typical “kid radar” that aims her at anything in the house that I’d rather she not play with.  Today she’s made it her mission to explore the wine rack in the dining room.  Not ’till you’re 21, Sweetie!

I’m tired of running after her already and she’s not even that fast yet!  Whew!

It makes it all worth it though when she crawls over and pulls herself up onto my lap (even if it is only because she wants to eat my sweatshirt strings!)
