Caitlin is really good at crawling now. She is everywhere. Tonight she had so much fund at childcare at the gym, she didn't even care when I came back in to pick her up. She just wanted to get into all the toys and play with all the kids.

I took her to the Dr. on Monday to get some new cream for her eczema. It just won't clear up. Dr. Murphy gave us so prescription cream that should clear it up. Then we can go get new pictures taken!!

Crawling

Here's some video of Caitlin crawling. She's kind of slow and awkward because she has a bottle of gas drops in her hand.

"Oh Crap!!"

Those were my exact words this morning when all of a sudden Caitlin took off crawling after Biscuit while she was playing fetch with her ball. All of a sudden I realized that she was no longer figuring out how to crawl, she KNEW how to crawl and she was doing it!! You would THINK that I would've been prepared for this, but I wasn't. I guess I was somewhat prepared, but not enough. She's already been in my big plant 4 or 5 times now. I think it's going to have to get moved somewhere else. She is just fascinated with it. She's also fascinated with the receivers underneath the TV. She also follows the dogs around. They have no idea what they're in for!

Crawling 101

Grandpa Marvin and Great Aunt Marilyn tried to give Caitlin crawling lessons yesterday while the rest of us were at the Husker game. I've seen the video and I'm not sure they were very successful! :) Today Rian said she did crawl 3 steps before falling on her belly and just reaching for what she wanted. I'm not sure why I'm encouraging her and wanting her to learn to crawl so badly. As soon as she's cruising all over the place I'm sure I'll want to go back to the days when she didn't know how to crawl! Here is the video:

It was a tough loss for the Huskers yesterday. It was a very exciting game to be at, that is for sure! They sure played with a lot of determination and a lot of heart. It's an exciting time to be a Husker fan. Let's hope they play well in Waco next Saturday. Baylor is no longer the whipping post of the Big XII.

The Packers finally got their first win of the season today. Brett Favre had a great day! I hope it's only the beginning...

Moving... YUCK!

Suddenly a few days ago we realized that we only have a few months before our house will be done and we will be ready to move. That means we need to get our current house ready to put on the market. UGH. This means major cleaning, organizing and packing. We started yesterday. Have I mentioned how much I hate moving? At least we will be in our new house for a VERY long time! We already have 9 boxes packed and we have loads of trash. Trash is good.. the more we throw away, the less there is to move!! I hate moving. The only good thing about moving is that you get rid of all the crap you don't need anymore. We have a lot of crap we need to get rid of! I'm even thinking of having a yard sale so someone else can buy my crap. The rest will get thrown away!

Have you tried those Mr. Clean magic erasers? They are magic. I swear they will take any scuff off the wall. I'm sold.

Today is Caitlin's first day in cloth diapers. So far so good. I am really liking them! Here she is:
