Four Teeth and Crawling!

This weekend Ava must have decided that enough was enough and this was her time to crawl. She may not be going all the way across the room on her hands and knees but she's definitely making progress. Sometimes she gets pretty excited by the simple act of getting onto her hands and knees and starts rocking back and forth, bopping her head to her own snappy music. She knows she's hot stuff. :) Only when it comes time to make a beeline for the newspaper or someone's smelly shoe does she drop to her tummy and goes into the old army crawl. She's got that move down and makes good time traveling that way. I think that she especially likes the laminate flooring because she's pretty darn speedy on that slick surface. It is much better than the carpet that I guess just slows her down.

Another tooth came in last week so for those of you keeping track that makes Tooth Number Four, two on the bottom in the front and two on the top (we call those her fangs). Ava doesn't quite understand why people are now so unwilling to let her gnaw on their fingers when it didn't seem to be a problem just a few short weeks ago. But she's been so good as they've come in and we can only hope the rest are this easy. She's finding lots of things to teeth on, have I mentioned that one of her favorite chew toys is the bar stools for our island counter? Yep, she's an equal opportunity chewer.
