Growing Pains

Kate is a super speedy crawler now, and has been practicing her pulling-up/walking/climbing skills for a few weeks. All that practice should make her tired and sleepy, right? Nope. Apparently babies who are learning to walk focus all of their energy on practicing this new skill and will even wake themselves up to practice (you can watch a video explaining this here).

So that explains the crappy sleep we've been having lately.

I even went in last night this morning (4am) to comfort her and as I picked her up she was trying to climb up my body. Her little legs moving like crazy!

I'm looking forward to her first steps, but scared at the same time. She's going to be everywhere and get into everything!
