Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

As I write this entry, I am listening to the thud/slap, thud/slap of the doctor slowly but surely crawling toward me. Just 3 weeks ago, she couldn't go from sitting up to crawling position without face-planting, and now she's mobile- not just in reverse, as was true for a while, but forward and toward specific objects. Her targets are usually either something she shouldn't have (the rug pad, the cat's tail) or her sister, who is happy to encourage her until the doctor grabs for whatever the princess is playing with, at which point things turn ugly.

To make things more pressing, she has also started to pull herself up- not on the couch yet, but lower things, which means that even more mobility is coming SOON.

Things are changing for the princess, too- today we went to pick out her glasses. I haven't really processed it yet, that she'll need them for at least several years, and possibly forever. I hope she stays as excited about them as she was while picking them out! I suspect that the novelty will soon wear off, but I hope that the doctor is right and that soon she'll realize how much clearer the world is with them on and actually prefer to wear them for that reason. She sure looks cute in them.
