point of comparison

As a point of comparison, Nathan didn't crawl until he was about 10 months.

(maybe in a week or two I will get back to "normal" blogging)

crawling achieved

Carline started crawling this weekend. She's not a speed demon yet, but she's definitely on the move. She's still working on moving her legs and her arms together, but she's moving! We're in trouble now!!!!

quick update

Caroline is moving all over the place these days. She's not actually crawling, but there is no keeping her on top of a quilt. She scoots pretty well. I don't think it will be long before she is all out crawling.

what insight

Our church has been without a pastor for 2.5 years. This coming Sunday, our prospective new pastor will be preaching and we will be voting on whether to "keep" him or not. Tonight I was explaining this to Nathan. I told him that most churches have a man that is in charge and that teaches the people about God and that man is called a "pastor" or "preacher." "Preacher," he said. I told him that for a long time our church had not had a preacher there all the time to teach us. To that, he responded "but God is there all the time and He can teach us." :) What insight! I told him that he was exactly right. The important thing is that God is with us. I'm a proud Mama!

another milestone met

This past weekend, I told at least three people that Caroline was working toward crawling but that she hadn't yet figured out how to get her belly up and her knees down at the same time. Well, Sunday afternoon, she pushed up on hands and knees. I guess she just wanted to show me that she COULD do it. :) She's done it quite a few times since. I managed to catch a picture just a little while ago.
