Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, our little newborn baby is now a crawler and no longer a newborn.
It has been a busy week. Fiona learned how to sit, crawl and pull herself up all in one week. It is by the virtue of sheer determination that these incredible babies learn how to move. From the instant Fiona wakes up, she sits right up and starts crawling. She spends the whole day, the ENTIRE day practicing. Practicing, practicing, practicing.
To develop all of those muscles she has spent a lot of time doing the “downward facing dog” yoga position. I can last for about 1 minute doing that. She does it ALL DAY LONG.
Needless to say, all this new movement has brought with it a fresh new wave of bumps and bruises. But that is the beauty of determination. There is nothing, neither pain nor tears that will stop Fiona from practicing and moving until she has perfected and mastered these new skills.
It is an incredible reminder for me about the determination that is needed when I am learning something new.

Oh — so cute! Theo learned how to crawl, pull up, and stand all within a couple of days and nights. It was so cute and exciting, until he stopped sleeping (he wanted to practice in the middle of the night, I guess)! But now he’s getting a bit better at night. This is just such a fun age.
Anyway, your kids are gorgeous! I love that Diego is practicing along with Fiona. Have fun…

Oh, how fast they’re no longer newborns! But so many new stages to look forward to….. Fiona’s just incredible! (My boys never crawled, so we’ll see if Katie does or not….)
