Dreaming From Scratch

The last 6 months, since the baby was born, have absolutely flown by.  The changes she has gone through are so extreme.  She has much more of a personality than three months ago and can accomplish more as well.

Within the past week, Elaina has developed the strength to get up onto her hands and knees.  While she usually faceplants, she is making progress.  Soon she will be crawling along.  We’ll need to start putting more things into lockdown.  Get rid of trinkets, put locks on cupboards, and a gate for the stairs.

It’s so easy to take the changes for granted.  She would need to be held, bounced, fed, sang to, or changed constantly.  She seems to be gradually giving a bit more rest on these issues.  While now there may be a little more time freed from covering basic needs, developing her coordination and social skills is taking more priority.

With that, here is Elaina Maria on piano!
