Go baby go Baby GO!

And she is OFF!!

Ruby is 7 months and two weeks, and today was a bit of a momentus occasion.... Up until now, any crawling she has done has been of the backwards variety. Today round at a friends house, she lifted her bum right in the air, straightened her legs so it looked she was doing a rather complex yoga pose, and then there was a proper movement FORWARDS. Ok, so it was much more luck than judgement, but it was PROPER!!

I have very mixed feelings. It is exciting to see her meeting these big developmental milestones, but each one she hits means that my little baby girl is getting closer to not being my little baby girl anymore....

And yes. I don't think I can put off the inevitable. Its time to baby proof the house, and looking around the front room, there are SOOOOO many things that are extremely breakable.... And our nice little gatherings where all the babies go on the floor and stay in one place playing while we drink gallons of tea are going to be a thing of the past. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted!
