She's scooting! Shelly Ann is mobile - but only when I'm not looking. When she's laying on her tummy and I walk away for a moment, I come back and she's scooted back a few feet and turned around facing another direction. When Archer was little I was constantly referring to the books to see what the next step was and when it would happen. This time around we're much more relaxed, just enjoying things as they happen and I have to be honest - I was a little surprised that Shelly's moving already, I just feel like she's growing too fast. All this means is that soon she'll be moving forward instead of backwards, then crawling, walking, running... I'm already worn out just THINKING about trying to keep up with TWO instead of one! But, I'm also so excited about her growing and getting stronger and interacting with us more, since she's the second one I feel less like worrying about all the little details and more excited knowing what I'm going to enjoy in the near future!

Dear Mom: You should know that I was very concerned about your first mode of transport. You got the idea that rolling across the floor was the only way to go. You would roll roll roll until you hit a piece of furniture or a wall and then roll roll the other way. I finally had to put cushions on both sides of you to force you to learn how to motor forwards and backwards using your arms and legs. If not for me you might still be rolling rather than walking today! You can thank me anytime.
Well, you can take credit for teaching me how to ride a bike but I'm not sure you get credit for me walking, I'm pretty sure I would have figured that out on my own eventually. :-)
