Trouble

Ella's been trying to crawl for the last couple of weeks. She rocks on her hands and knees, does push ups, crawls backwards, gives up, rolls onto her back, and starts to whine until I move her into a sitting position. Then, she starts all over again. I don't know which one of us gets more frustrated. Even the dogs are bothered by the "Ella Whine". The minute she starts in they start out (of the room, that is). If she would just learn to pull herself into a sitting position I could remove myself from the process and I would certainly be much happier.

I thought that, since she wasn't crawling or a sitting up, the crib was safe with the rail in the lowest position. Tonight I sat her in her crib, walked to the closet for PJs and when I turned back around this is what I found...


It's a good thing we're taking apart the crib for the move. By Saturday night the rail will be at it's highest and the mattress at it's lowest.

I'm sure this is Mommy Lesson 9,999 or somewhere around there. There have been SO many that I've lost count.
