Little Miss is growing up too fast! Although she is definitely still a baby, you can start to see a little bit of little girl in her face and in her mannerisms. She has always been very interactive, but she is becoming even more so. She is also starting to understand emotions better and gets very upset if one of the boys speaks harshly to her. Occasionally Asher or Leif will say "No, Heidi" in a voice that isn't very pleasant and she gets a sad, hurt look on her face before bursting into a sad little cry. It takes me about 30 seconds of calming words and rubbing her head and back for her to calm down. The boys also try to calm her down because they weren't trying to be mean to her, they just didn't want her touching their toys or food.
Heidi has started to army crawl around on the floor. She can get herself from sitting into a crawling position, but when she tries to take off, she ends up sprawled on the floor. I've even seen her go from the sprawl back to a crawling position, but she can't move from there. She has decided instead to just pull herself along. Its a funny little crawl, wiggling along the floor because she uses her left leg more than her right and she ends up twisting a little funny as she goes. But she gets where she wants to go and is very happy about it. She loves to head for a bookcase in our living room and pull off as many books as she can before I grab her.
Heidi is still a bright ray of sunshine in our family. She makes everyone happy because she is always smiling and we are so happy to have her.
And here is a bonus picture of all the kids ready to go to church :)
