So I set Abby down on her tummy this afternoon and she stayed on her knees. She stayed that way for a couple of minutes and then plopped on to her tummy. I was smothering her with praise the whole time so you should have seen the proud look on her face. She can't pull herself up into that position yet, so she probably won't crawl for a while now, but she's making progress. She also sits up very well on her own. Oh! And the greatest thing of all, she's growing lots of little blonde hair all over her head! About time!
In other news, the city of Murphy is trying to start a education series and so they signed me on to create two early childhood classes; a music class and a storytime/art class. The only problem is that they only had two weeks to advertise before the classes started, so they cancelled the music class and just advertised for the story time class. The coordinator called me today and told me the story time class was also off because only two kids signed up. I had already bought the books, made up the lesson plans and bought art supples. I'm not going to get reimbursed for it either. Although they were going to pay me peanuts, I was still excited to start teaching again. They will try again in the fall, but by then Melinda and I will have hopefully
started our own classes.

Abby looks SO cute in the first picture! It will be so fun when she can crawl! Start checking craigslist for baby gates!
Um...I'm not so sure about the "fun" part of crawling! It's a great milestone, but about a month after she's doing it, you will think twice about how much fun it actually is when she takes off under the benches at church! She will work off some of her baby chub, though.
I don't think she looks like a fat old lady in a mumu!
