This week Josh has been in Paonia without us.
The first morning he was gone when I went to get Piper after she woke up she looked around and cried. She wanted her Daddy. I was not who she expected, he has the morning shift. I didn't take it personally, I understand. I missed him too. But we've made it through three days and two nights on our own and have some new tricks to show Dad in the morning.
Her crawling is getting more pronounced. On her hands and knees she rocks back and forth and has even take a few "steps" in that position.
It's a bit of a pathetic effort, but Piper has also been waving. When parting from Aoife and our friend Krissy she takes her arm and does the wave movement without fully lifting her arm.
It's pretty stinking cute.
Aoife told me she did it to some of her little friends up at Shumei today
when they came up for a visit.
In general Piper just seems more alert in the last three days.
She's in her body and eager to MOVE!
She's playing on her own quietly but also lunging off my lap to grab at books. Taking her to the post office is a bit of a struggle, as she's grabbing for what's in my hands
as I'm trying to maneuver the load.
She's all over the place these days.
Here she is crawling to Aoife
She crawled right out of the frame!
This new tick is wonderful. The whining on the floor has lessened immensely.
She can reach her own toys.
And she's pretty excited about that.
