firsts

first things first.. the august pictures & videos are up now.

lucas fell and hit his head on the base of our rocking chair saturday morning.. and had to go to the emergency clinic to get 3 stitches (er,, staples) in his forehead. it was a bit scary, but he was fine.



ruby started to crawl!! on her 7 month birthday. its still a little uncoordinated yet.. but i can tell already, my days of 'relaxation' are numbered. i am so proud of her. and it has been fun dangling toys about 3 feet/1 meter in front of her to see if she'll come over. it has to be something good because it takes a lot of effort on her part.. it takes her a minute to warmup and organize all those different body parts moving simultaneously. oh, she's so young to crawl already! for those of you who dont know.. 6 months is about the earliest you ever hear of babies crawling.. but most commonly it's around 8 or 9 months.

oh look here's my crystal ball ~ i see loads and loads of laundry with dirty knees, mopping the kitchen floor every two days, and having to hide all of lucas small toys. gotta break out those baby gates again too. (sigh) this is fun.
