A September to Remember

Guys...seriously...

First this happened...
 

 

At the beginning of September this little bear figured out how to sit up on her own. 

And then this happened...
 

 

Lily started army crawling her little self all over the place. 

And then this happened...
 

 

This little chica figured out how to pull herself up! This is no longer a crib...it is now a baby jail. 

And finally, a couple days ago she strung together a series of mumbles that warmed my heart...mama. I'll pretend it was totally intentional because she was looking at me when she said it and I'll ignore all the times she has looked at me and said gagadadawawa. 

All in one month! Really? The other day I thought about learning how to do a cartwheel but it seemed too hard and just the thought made me tired so I decided to clean the toilet instead. Yes...I cleaned the toilet. Unfortunately that was only after Little Bear decided to lick the bottom of it. I either need to clean more or we need to buy 700 baby gates. Looks like we will be making a Wal-Mart run later. 

With every new skill learned, I am excited and thrilled but I'm also a tiny bit nostalgic for the days when she would fit in one arm and stay in one place. Luckily I don't have too much time to be nostalgic...after all, I have toilets to clean.
