Tonya and PQBON's WebLog
Katie has changed so much in the past two weeks. She is now crawling and she has her first tooth. Last night we were playing "catch" with a ball in the kitchen.
She is only barely crawling and doesn't quite seem to like it, she looks more like she wants to walk. The straitens her legs and walks with her feet and hands. She has to focus a lot. She is good for about 3 or 4 small strides before she collapses onto her tummy and has to get up and start over. Given that I never crawled as a baby (walked at 9monthes) and that she has been walking already in both the walker (she is a little speed demon) and when we hold her hands to keep her upright she walks quite well, she may in fact start walking soon and never really crawl much.
For the past week or two we have been in teething hell. OK, hell is a strong word, but Katie has been much more grumpy the usual due to teething pain keeping her from napping. She is handling it really well when she isn't tired but when she gets tired she gets really really crabby and whiny. She has to be held constantly and frustrated very easy. Her first tooth is in and her second tooth is almost in. You can now see her first tooth when she opens her mouth if you can get her little tongue out of the way. When it first came in the gums swelled up just a little and covered it.
