8 months old and officially mobile! Last week was a very eventful week for Brynn. She sprouted a new tooth (I actually think she has 3 coming in at once), turned 8 months old and started officially crawling. She has been so happy with her newfound crawling skills and is into everything. She specifically likes things that are dangerous like electrical cords and electrical sockets, night lights that are plugged in and their bulbs. If there is something that she can choke on around she'll find it. She's also already broken two of our candlesticks by knocking them over. We have to keep a very close eye on her now that she can get around! I think we are going to have to baby proof even more with her than we had to with Ava. One thing that just melts my heart is when I came home today and she crawled over to me as fast as her little body could move, couldn't get there fast enough. It was the sweetest thing ever.
She is also clapping to if you're happy and you know it and patty cake, waving hi and bye bye, and lots of talking "ga ga ga"
Ava hasn't been a fan of Brynn's new crawling skills because it means that Brynn can now get to her toys. Even if it's Brynn's toy, Ava wants it. We are working hard on sharing and taking turns, but Ava is VERY stubborn. She takes things from Brynn and hides them under the bed or puts them up high where Brynn can't get to them. It'll be things she hasn't played with in months and as soon as Brynn get's a hold of it, suddenly she wants it. Today Brynn tried to play with Elmo and Ava took it from her and gave her a piece of trash and said "here Brynny you can play with this" then went and hid Elmo under the bed. She also told me that she doesn't want to play with her because Brynn is "annoying" and that she doesn't want Brynn to walk or run, she wants her to stay a baby.
