Big News, People! I'm Talking BIG

So....it officially happened. As my mom would say, it's a "red letter day." Big things are a moving and a shaking in the Starks household. Well, to be more accurate, a sweet little someone is moving and shaking:

Dis crawled!

She has been mobile for a while now, but mostly by scooting or lifting her knees and then kind of lunging forward. We've been waiting for the criss-cross crawl of the arms and legs, though, since it's supposed to be a pretty major brain function. And while my mom and sister claimed she did this two days ago while I was off in the kitchen, we all know that nothing is ever truly official until mom and dad see it. So I'm marking yesterday, April 23, as the it day.

And it's probably hard to tell from this blog, but we're awfully proud of her. I was blessed to get it on film, but as she is fairly nakey, I'll just post pics--after we diapered her. :)



Her main motivation in crawling across Grandma's tile floor--a big metal basket. She loves the texture and it's light enough to submit to her will. :)


Grandma got these great little balls that are fun to chase after


And she will do anything for Auntie Jessa--and I think vice versa :)


Mobile baby in action!
