Our little firecracker

No photos for today's post....Russ is racing in Michigan today (yes, I know, I am a wonderful wife!!)=) and took the camera with him.

Jessica is really moving now...she is getting up on her hands/forearms and knees wobbling back and forth - sometimes she actually moves a little in this position, but she travels mostly using her arms dragging her whole body across the floor. We bought those colourful foam squares to fill the entire loft so she now has a huge play area to practice. She just loves rolling and dragging herself around!

She has also learned to wave!! We have been waving "Hi" and "Bye" to Jessica for a few months now so I think she has picked it up. Do you know that Reactine commercial where the Reactine guy waves to all the people on the street? The other day it came on and Jessica started to wave at the TV - it was way too cute!

We have to watch her 24-7 now since her mobility is increasing. It's a lot of fun but tiring too...she can even climb out of her Bumbo chair! She is definitely an active (even hyper sometimes) baby and gets restless very easily - she wants to be held but at the same time squirms to reach and go after everything. She is definitely a little firecracker!

It's a huge transition... going from mom of baby to mom of moving baby! The good news is that you get used to it. The bad news is that it gets harder (only a bit) before it gets easier (a LOT easier). And the best news is that it's all worth it! :)
