Getting into trouble

Yesterday, Mairead had some company when we put her down for bed. The cat had been snuggled under the blankets, and Mairead was pretty excited to see her in her crib.

The cat was less than thrilled with Mairead ruining her nap, though.

She headed out of there as quickly as she could!

You all saw the video about ten days ago that I took when Mairead first crawled 'for real.' Yes, that was only 10 days ago, and yes, she has now moved on to trying to stand and climb up the stairs. She is a very independent and curious little girl-- I think we are really in for it now! We waited all this time for her to crawl, and we were so excited when she did it. Now, I think we'll be wishing she would stay put once in while!


She can even pull herself up to a sitting position from lying down-- she is very strong! We are really thrilled with how she is doing- even though she is using her new skills to get into trouble!
