Crawling and Standing and Cruising, Oh My!

Well, the last two weeks have been quite eventful for our little girl. Alina went from screaming whenever she was on her belly, to crab crawling to full blown crawling super fast. Talk about a fast learner! Alina however cannot be satisfied with that though. She is now pulling herself up to standing and is cruising around table, chairs or anything she can get her hands on! She will now let go once she is upright and balance for close to a minute without falling. I sense that walking is not far in her future!

In addition to all the physical momentum she has going, she just broke though tooth number four this week. She is handling them just like her brother. Every tooth is a mouth full of hurt.

It seemed like overnight that she went from screaming whenever we put her near the tub to splashing with her brother in utter pleasure. Thankfully we don’t have to fight her anymore in the water, but boy is she going from one extreme to another!

I hope this is not an indication of how her personality will develop. I’m not sure I am ready to handle such extremems with someone other than myself!
