Cruisin and a'bruisin

Well my goodness...another eventful week here in the land of "lets catch every virus and realize every possible symptom of that virus, however random and atypical". We could also call this the land of just minding our own business and getting a little too cocky about "feeling better" after our month of ailments.

Last week I came down with a sudden and very extreme case of VERTIGO (do yourselves a favor and just read the first paragraph of that hyperlink or you are in danger of thinking I might be suffering from any number of deadly disorders). It was disorienting, scary, and ridiculously unpleasant...sparing the nauseating details, I will cautiously report (knowing full well I could be tempting fate here...) that I am almost back to 100% feeling fine. But I am going to keep this posting relatively short as prolonged typing makes me feel just a bit wonky.

Vertigo be damned it just had to be recorded for prosperity that our girl has been moving and growing in leaps and bounds over this past week. And I mean that literally...there has been leaping, bounding, and all manner of climbing, balancing, teetering, tottering, barreling, steamrolling, falling, bruising, scraping and bonking. This girl is ON FIRE!

I am as amazed at her skills as I am at her single minded determination. Just this past week she has perfected climbing over any number of items..including pillows I strategically place in her way in a meager attempt to slow her down. She can climb stairs like a pro...figured that out yesterday as she successfully scaled Shannon's very steep wooden stairs in pursuit of a cat. And will not take no for an answer...even if the no is coming from her own fingers and limbs. She desperately wants her body to catch up to her minds desire for movement. This makes for all kinds of grumbling, complaining and downright screeching when the frustration of it all just becomes to much.

That said...there have also been unforgettable moments of success in which she pushes herself right up to her baby limits and just a little bit beyond.
