Getting bigger

A couple things have happened this week to remind me just how quickly Saylor is growing. First, we lowered her crib mattress. Not that she was pulling up or trying to climb out, but I just figured it wouldn't hurt to do it earlier rather than later, now that she is getting more mobile. (By the way, major thanks to my friend Lauren; without her help I would have given up 10 minutes into the process because it turned out to be quite an ordeal! We went ahead and put it on the lowest setting because there's no way in heck I'll be doing that again any time soon). Here she is at her new level:













The major downside of this is that now it practiacally requires a somersault over the railing to give her a kiss goodnight once you lay her down. And yes,
butt in the air sleeping seems to be her new favorite position. :)


Ok, second big step: Saylor started crawling!

Ok, not really. I'm exaggerating. Definitely not really a crawl but also definitely the closest I have seen her get. She is pretty funny about it. She seems to only exert a certain amount of energy before deciding it's not worth it and collapsing onto the floor.

Here's a short video of her rocking on her knees/aka first attempts to crawl (trying to get to the bubble machine):
