Forward Movement

Catherine for the last month has been doing backwards movement and has been very good at getting herself under chairs, in corners, under couches and the like as she has only been able to push herself backwards on her tummy. We are now doing foward movement and officially crawling. I'm excited for her, yes, but not so much for myself. When I told her doctor that I wasn't really encouraging her on with crawling, he kindly scolded me and told me it was a necessary part of her development. I know that. I'm just not excited about the blocking off of stairs, and so forth that now will be a daily routine. But I'm very happy for her development. Although, I was never too concerned. As I write this post, we've just finished off a wonderful week of visitors with the kids Gigi, Granpa and Granmom. What a wonderful week that was and I reflect once again on how blessed not only I am, but my children are to have grandparents and great grandparents in their lives. the pictures speak 1,000 words and I'll let them do just that.
