The New Year Crawl

From Dec 31 through Jan 7th we were down in Florida visiting my family (Mom & Dad, Sister & kids, and Grandma) and had a great time despite the weather (coldest weather in 5 years!). For Adelais it was a momentus occasion - she began to crawl. Before we left she was taking some small single steps, but by the time we got back to DC she was cruising arond with no problem. It was great to watch her get better and better at it each day and I was really excited that my family got to watch it happen! First thing I did when I got home (with help from Andrea's Dad), even before unpacking, was to put the baby gate at the top of the stairs - She is unstoppable now!

The New Cutest One

This is my newest favorite picture of Adelias. Besides being adorable, it clearly indicates how much trouble Andrea and I are in for...

Also, some quick updates:

- She has her first tooth. It came in last week and it seems another one will come in any day now. Andrea is having fun experiencing the new tooth (if you now what I mean) - and I get to feel it occasionally when she chomps down on my finger.

- She is crawling like a four legged freak - backwards, of course. We have now officially begun chasing her around the living room...
