Milestone Mania

For those who read our blog to check out our travels, this entry is not for you, but we'll have a post about our recent trip to the Pyrennes up soon. However, for those who read our blog to check out Elizabeth, this entry IS for you.

Elizabeth went through a month or so of relative sameness. Sure, she sat up a little straighter and improved her table manners, but she wasn't hitting any new milestones. In the past week, all of that has changed.

Last Friday I found Elizabeth sitting up her crib after a nap for the first time. On Saturday, Elizabeth started crawling. On Monday, she started pulling to a standing position using Justin or I as support. And on Wendesday, she pulled herself up to a standing position using a piece of furniture. All of these skills are exciting, but very scary for Justin, Pecos, and me (perhaps mostly for Pecos who has been chased a few times and had his water dish overturned).

Elizabeth is also popping out four top teeth, which adds some drool and sleeplessness into the mix. Needless to say, I am pooped.
