Race of the Turtles

Pictured above are Olivia & Miss A, movin' and a shakin'.
Little Miss A can do the downward dog with one leg up!

Now that, my friends, is style!

Assignment: Learning to look for signs of baby moving on in her own unique way!

Yes Mama.
She is moving on.
No longer happy just bouncing away the afternoon on your knee.
She wants to explore the great, wide world around her.

The beautiful thing about baby starting to move, is they each learn their own way.
With serious determination.
Poignant actually, for life itself; finding our own way.
Much like I am muddling my way through motherhood.

She wants to move.
She props herself high on her hands.
Nods her head like a chicken.
Flaps her arms like a bird!
No one showed her this.
Or how to roll.
(Or how to squawk, though if you ask my husband, he will surely tell you that she sounds "just like her mother!")

In her own way, in her own time.
Smart little things.
