I like to move it move it

We are in for a huge change, our baby girl is on the move.  Sophia started crawling on Monday, June 6th during her occupational therapy visit.  She had been getting up on all fours for about a week and would just rock back and forth.  It looked like she really wanted to go somewhere but she just wasn't sure how to get there.  Well, she finally figured it out and now she is unstoppable.

This video shows how it played out.  Sophia was up on all fours and her OT was trying to entice her with toys.  It definitely worked because she started moving towards the toys.  Luckily I was present and able to catch it on my cell phone camera.  I was so excited about it that I forgot that our video camera was about 3 feet away.  But needless to say this has opened up a whole new world for Sophia.

 She is now able to get to all kinds of toys.  Drew is not so keen on this as she tends to pile all the toys near her and protests when he trys to play with any of them.  This also means that she can touch his things, his chair, his shoes, his toys etc.  However, this seems to have made him much more interested in his little sister.  Previously he would give her a hug and a kiss in the morning but that was about it.  Now he will bring her things or laugh when she gets in a compromising situation.  He now pays attention to her and reports back to us on all of her movements, kinda like a small CIA agent.

For a little girl that wasn't supposed to do too much, Sophia sure is surprising us on a daily basis.  We ask for your continued prayers - for her head to grow to a normal size for her age and for her vision to improve.  There are no medical interventions that can improve these things so our hope is for a miracle.  We truly believe that her accomplishments to this point are because of the prayers offered on her behalf.  Thank you all so very much for keeping our little angel in your thoughts & prayers, we will never be able to thank you enough.
