Trying so hard....

...to crawl. I did some internet searching on different techniques to help babies crawl and found one. We are intent on getting Mara to crawl (supposed to be good for the brain, I read), so we tried something new tonight.

Oh Yeah, I chopped all my hair off because most of it fell out. So instead of having long hair with spikes of new hair everywhere, I have short hair and can hide the spikes. I hope that this was due to baby hormones and nothing else!!!

Mara standing!!

My big little girl!

So here is the technique: You place the towel under their upper chest to push them up onto their hands and knees and help them get used to this position. Then you put a toy in front of them and assist them in moving forward toward it. Doesn't look like much, but it is great progress for our lady!!
