Law of crawling

Dad had a theory today that has been proven. Maeve is crawling.


It's not pretty. It's not graceful, but it is a crawl. Dad witnessed it first this this morning as Maeve was crawling towards him. It wasn't far, maybe 3 feet, so he wasn't 100% sure if it counted as a crawl. Thus the Maeve Crawling theory (actually it would have been an hypothesis).



However, throughout the day mom and Charlotte have witnessed this feat. Proving it as a scientific fact and creating the Maeve Law of Crawling.




The excitement was very short lived when we found Maeve in the kitchen eating miscellaneous scraps of food that dad dropped while making marinara sauce. Oh the dreaded worry about baby proofing the house has begun. We were lucky with Charlotte that she really didn't care to get into things. Maeve on the other hand seems to have a serious curiosity streak. Ugh.













To top things off we have what feels like snowstorm number 600 today. Why oh why do we live in New Hampshire? In reality we could live just about anywhere but we are here, in the lovely hinterland of the north. I hope and pray the girls will love skiing, otherwise we are going to have to cash it in and head south. Judging by Charlottes recent sledding escapade, she will be just fine in the snow. She can take a wipeout off the sled, face plant into the snow to get a 'wicked' whitewash with the best of them.

I love Maeve's pigtails! Her hair is so long. I found a piece of tissue or it could have been paper, not sure what it was in Carver's mouth yesterday...about your comment on Facebook....yes, time is flying by! It seemed like it took forever for Anna to crawl, with Carver, it seems like he just started to sit up last week....
