Baby chickadee started crawling Jan 2nd and is now steadily trying to climb stairs. (Who does she think she is?) Anyway, it is scaaaaaary. I can't keep my eyes off of her for one second. She likes to get into trouble if I back away into the kitchen for a few seconds. Before you know it she is trying to make a mess out of the dogs water bowl or she's trying to reach up to the stove while I'm in the kitchen. I really don't know how we eat at night sometimes. I forgot how adventurous they are at this stage. I thought I would be more laid back about the whole 2nd child mobility stage but it frightens me even more. I have to keep Allison's smaller toys away from Kate so she doesn't accidentally grab them and put them in her mouth. I have to keep her away from wires. (oh how I forgot!) I just need to duct tape her to the wall, I guess!! (just kidding).
On the other hand, Allison has become a dream older sister. She entertains Kate while I am getting food ready to bring to the table and Kate is crying. She keeps her from getting to certain things she shouldn't be especially if they belong to her, of course. She freely gives Kate hugs and too many kisses that I can't even keep track of anymore. There are some crazy times where I could surely go bald if I wanted to. Motherhood does test all emotional aspects of life. Patience being the big one. But the fun times seem to outweigh the bad times exponentially!! Even if at the bad "time" we don't seem to think so... :)
