Chasing Baby

It's starting...for several weeks now, we've been chasing little miss Ava down over and over. Our living room could look like a nuclear blast filled with toys hit , yet she'd still rather crawl off into the dining room/kitchen. She's getting better at it...faster...and also getting more attitude when we pull her back into the living room. We put the baby gate up between the living room and dining area the other day, and it made her so angry! I wish I had had the camera at that moment, it was hilarious!. But now in the last few days, she has been pulling herself up on things like crazy. First it was just pulling herself to her knees in her crib, but now, within a week of that episode, it's full-blown standing. She likes to try pulling herself up on unstable objects, like her sound stage in my last post, or the mini-basketball hoop Austin got her for Christmas. So we constantly have to watch her to make sure she doesn't fall, or let her fall so she'll learn (which sounds terrible, doesn't it?) I usually try to prevent the fall, but when I do that she gets a 'tude with me. It won't be long and she'll be running around on her little feet. Crazy. Here's a picture of her when she first pulled herself up in the crib.
