On the Move

Erika is trying DESPERATELY to crawl.....she goes from her bum to her knees, back to her bum, to her tummy...then spins backwards in circles etc....it is so fun to watch her.
Plus...she is just so darn cute and has the most precious smile i've ever seen:)
here are some pics of our little mooshy this week:

Random...here she is on the potty for the first time. We'll start this more seriously next month



A little bit frustrated....
Love it!

How can you resist that smile? she just makes me melt!

She is just so precious to me!
this is a funny smile...I love this one...
This was her this morning...stuck under the chair...
making her way out...
moving backwards..(once she can go forward, we'll have something!)
Still backwards....
that was hard work....stopping for a rest.....

I love My Erika....she has brought so much joy to our family. We would not be complete without her.

She woke up last night and when I went in she had spun 90 degrees and flipped to her tummy! oh...the fun begins...i'm sure i'll be up everynight this week flipping her back over! haha....

Thanks for letting me gloat about my monkies cuteness....I know you mom's all understand;)

U. UNKNOWN FACT ABOUT ME: I saved a man from drowning when I was 12yrs old. I was on the front page of the newspaper and received a good Samaritan award. Very few people know that about me. It took me years to tell anyone. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to appreciate what a special experience it was and how grateful I am the Lord put me there that day. Me and My friend Chrissy were the only ones in the pool besides him and his daughter. It was her 8th birthday. If we hadn’t been there, he would have been dead. After pulling him from the bottom of the pool, I had nightmares for weeks of just seeing his face ( it was grayish blue when I pulled him out).
