A Red Letter Day

Abby had a very big day today. I went in to get her from her morning nap today and she was crawling - just like a big kid - hands and knees - in her crib. She was doing laps from one end to the other with the biggest smile on her face. When I put her on the actual floor, she went right back to scooting on her tummy. Guess she wasn't really ready to make the full transfer just yet. And, as if that wasn't exciting enough, she then sat herself right up. Now she has been holding herself up for some time but never had I seen her sit up all alone. I called her daddy right away and told him he should probably take the rest of the day off because at this rate she was probably going to be either walking or talking before he got home. He didn't take me up on it, though. So she decided to save all her other big firsts for another day. Most likely because she really wants her daddy to be there.
