This month has been a whirlwind of activity and development for Genevieve and our whole family. Of course, the holiday season is always busy and, for us, it has been compounded with the fact that all of our children are seeking more independence.

The boys want to do everything by themselves (“no need help Mommy” is a frequent phrase around here these days…) and Genevieve is extremely mobile. She is sitting unassisted and has been crawling for nearly a month and a half. She is pulling herself up on EVERYTHING and is even moving along furniture. She obviously has somewhere important to be and is determined to get there as soon as possible. 😉

She eats solid foods (pureed deliciousness as well as finger foods), sleeps for longer periods at night (yay for Mom!), and wants so badly to play “rough” with Daddy and the boys. She loves crawling, jumping, and playing in the bath. She has also developed a love for our cats, who only come out after the boys have gone to bed for the night. Genevieve usually stays up to giggle at them, chase them, and try to pull their hair, ears, or whiskers off before nodding off for the night.

I wonder what another month will bring… walking? talking? driving the car?
Nothing would surprise me at the rate.
