Crawling!!

The big day arrived on Saturday 17 May. Daddyfeatures and I were enjoying a morning coffee and Talia was playing on the carpet when she suddenly seemed to move slightly further than expected. “Was that crawling?” I said (for about the fourth time in the past week). “I think it was,” he replied. So I grabbed the camera.

She was playing with balloons left over from the birthday party last weekend, and one of them floated out of reach. It was just the encouragement she needed… you can see what happened next here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDbqWoRBsnk

I could feel the tears of joy welling up in my eyes as I went back to finish my coffee.

We went out shopping and bought ourselves some sushi to celebrate - and Talia ate a slice of Tobiko roll. Later in the day we hastily finished putting up the custom security gate we have made for our kitchen. My parents came over for dinner and the celebrations continued.

WOO HOO!!
