Clapping and Crawling and Climbing, Oh My!

Although we were convinced that Megan would skip the crawling stage entirely, she has decided she would like some independence and started crawling - it's a kind of modified quasi moto crawl (on one knee and one foot), but she motors about without too much trouble. And since she has already mastered the art of pulling herself up to standing and walking along furniture she is remarkably mobile. Bring on the baby gates!


She has a fascination with the washroom - banging on the toilet seat and the side of the tub. Megan has discovered the toilet paper roll and thinks it's pretty cool to unravel it, but fortunately she hasn't discovered the toilet bowl...yet!


Grandma also taught Megan to clap the other day...now when I go in her room to get her up in the morning I go in to a round of applause - very cute! This new skill is also especially helpful when she's getting a bit cranky in the car - a quick round of "If You're Happy and You Know It" and she is back to smiling. This will come in handy when we drive to Kelowna in the coming weeks - although we might be sick of they song by the time we reach Canmore!

We have a few BBQ's planned for the long weekend, but for the most part we are just hanging out as a family...what do you have planned for the long weekend? Whatever it is we hope you have fun!

Glad to hear she's on the move!
Soon she'll be opening doors and getting in to all your cupboards.

Just keeping mom and dad on their toes.

We think the week with the boys inspired her to new levels! Sounds like the lake has been great this weekend for you - talk to you when you're back home.
