Over the weekend, Elektra began to go from being on all fours to sitting up regularly. This, of course, means that she has a new springboard of sorts to crawling forwards instead of backwards. She crawls backwards fairly quickly, so she is most certainly mobile. We have seen sparks of forward motion every once in awhile... our time of a non-mobile baby... has ENDED!!! SHE TOOK TWO CRAWLS FORWARD AS I WRITE THIS!! The motivation was to get to Daddy's laptop power cable - which Daddy promptly moved out of reach when she obtained the prize.
Congratulations Elektra! Your adventures are going to expand rapidly!!!
She has also broken her second bottom tooth through as of 2 Fridays ago, and that pearly white is starting to be noticeable without having to look hard for it. She's drooling like a fiend right now, so I wonder what tooth is coming next! I don't feel any hard spots, so we'll see.
Elektra is no longer staying within the confines of the sleep positioner, so we took that out of her crib. For the most part, she still sleeps on her back, but we've been finding her on her side and belly more often as the days go by. She's moved into a fairly regular sleep pattern - a short cat nap in the late morning and a long nap in the afternoon. She goes to bed between 7:30-8:00pm, and sleeps until at least 6:30-7:00am. She sleeps fantastically.
We have also seen evidence of Elektra pulling herself up on her knees, so the days of keeping the crib rail down are going to be ending soon enough as well!
The last thing Elektra has been doing as of late is saying Da Da Da. This makes Daddy very happy. :)
Time for dinner... one of DJ's favorites...pizzaaaaaaaa!!
