War Wounds

Elayna is wanting to crawl so badly.  I just know any day now she'll take off and I'll be chasing her from then on.  For the past week she'll get up on her hands and knees rock back and forth.  Then in the last few days she's started 'tri-poding' -- pushing her butt up in the air with her feet on the ground and legs straight (also known as 'downward-dog' in yoga).  This is a lot of effort but not a lot of movement forward.  After a while, she does start to get frustrated but I know she'll get the idea soon.

At daycare today, she tried so hard that she took a nice header onto the carpet.  Her teachers were very upset but I think her new war wounds are super cute.  It's difficult to see from the picture but she has a small bruise beneath her left eye and red scrape on her eyebrow.  Luckily neither boo-boo hurts her in the slightest.

However, her diaper rash does hurt her right now.  It's the worst she's ever had and has to be due to some new teeth coming in.  Poor thing is miserable but I'm optimistic it will clear up soon.  Until then, lather on the desitin!
