Big Week for Lottie

The last week has been one of those weeks where several things happened all at once in Lottie's world.

First, her 3rd tooth arrived, the other bottom front tooth. I don't have a picture for this because getting pictures of a baby's teeth are incredibly difficult (think trying to get a picture of an alligator's teeth).

Second, I started working again. I am keeping 2 little boys--Rowan, a 19 month old and Finn, a 3 month old. They are very sweet, but Lottie is having to adapt to sharing her mommy, toys, and home. True to her social butterfly self, she is handling it well.

Third, this weekend we traveled to our future home--Gadsden, AL. More to come on that later.

Fourth, she started signing. We have been using sign language with her, and she signed "more" this weekend for the first time. She also does "finished" now. It is very handy; though, I think she signed "finished" to me this afternoon with a bit of an attitude. I guess it is starting.

Fifth, she started crawling on all fours. She crawls on all fours until she decides it is too slow or she falls to her belly, then she resumes army crawling.

Finally, she successfully pulls up on the furniture. She has been working on this awhile and could pull up on low things like a suitcase, but Friday, she successfully pulled herself up on the coffee table. Since then, it has been non-stop pulling up on things. Today, she fell and cut her lip on her first tooth, but that didn't stop her. About 30 minutes later, she fell and bumped her head. She was standing back at the coffee table minutes later. She also cruised a little today (took a few steps while holding onto the coffee table). She is on her way to walking!
