Lynnea is walking!!

When I was five months pregnant I began to wonder if there was really a Kung Fu panda inside of me instead of a little girl. At birth we quickly realized that Lynnea's acrobatics were to continue, as she almost rolled onto her tummy while still in the hospital. Swaddling was a bust as she would always break out, no matter how tightly we wrapped her. Soon she was scooting, and then at six months (pretty much the day after she started crawling) she began furniture cruising. She took her first step without holding onto anything at eight months, and now at nine months she is officially walking. Suffice it to say we have one ACTIVE little girl on our hands.

As excited as we are, it tends to make life a lot more interesting each time Lynnea hits a milestone. Especially going out into public. For example, we were sitting in sacrament meeting and set Lynnea down so she could cruise the pew. The couple next to us oohed and aahed until Lynnea bent down to suck on the girl's toe. In class, she pulled the girl next to me's skirt up and began to chew on it. She really is a good baby, but if you try to confine her.... wow does she get mad. That is why we always sit next to the door in church, and avoid any stores without shopping carts. So, as excited as we are for Lynnea to be walking, I'm sure it will take terrorizing people to the next level. At least her random phase of growling has passed, I'm sure it will go over better when her antics are accompanied by cute babbles instead of her slightly creepy growl.
