And She's Off

She's officially done it - after weeks of rocking on her hands and knees and pushing herself backwards, Julia figured out how to coordinate all 4 limbs to crawl forwards. So now it's time for the baby gates and all the other baby proofing that comes along with mobility. This is not so easy as our house has awkward and wide openings so we're having a little trouble finding the right gates. The dogs aren't sure what to make of her new ability since she can follow them - they can't just get away from her now. But they're being very gentle with her and we're trying to teach Julia to be gentle with them.
It's not so easy to get things done anymore - I used to be able to leave her in a room and run to the kitchen or laundry room to get things done - not an option anymore; she wants to follow and she gets somewhere pretty quick now.
Julia has also sprouted two bottom teeth - she won't let Jody or I anywhere near them though so we haven't been able to get a picture. She's growing so quickly - it's hard to remember when all she did was sleep and lay in our arms.... :)
