Show Off

When I was little, it used to drive my mother totally insane that I could skip my piano practice times all week and then play great at my lessons. I had some sort of "show off for authority figures" gene or something. Ellie appears to have inherited it.

We had her six month checkup tonight (16 pounds 5 ounces & 28 inches long -- 70% for weight and more than 95% for height!) and she decided to use that opportunity to debut a new trick. She was lying on her tummy, idly attempting to eat the paper examining table cover, and then all of a sudden she pushed up onto her hands and knees and started rocking back and forth.

"Wow," said our doctor, "she's going to be crawling soon!"

I looked over at Josh and our eyes locked in mutual terror. Oh My God. She's going to be crawling soon!!
