1 August: Moving day!

Houston, we have a mobile baby.

She's crawling. Maybe not the perfect crawl, but she is doing something between a commando crawl under barbed wire and an inch worm... anyway, it is enough to get her *where ever* she wants to go. Was it the new carpet? Was it dressing in brown and watching the dog? Was it just time? Who knows, but now, no one's toes are safe.



So much to get caught up on... yes... we moved to a new place on the peninsula.... it did take us a while to unpack the important things:Grandma came to visit and in the few days she was here, Arley learned to catch a ball and lift it over her head. It is amazing really, that Arley really started to mimic us... it it pretty neat.

Scarlett also started to take her first swimming lesson at the local Y. The water was 89, so she had nothing to complain about....



Afterwards, she still had energy enough to wave to the paparazzi
Finally, despite the massive heat spell because of global warming, we've already had one cold morning with fog, so here is dad's road crew that accompanies him on his morning walk for coffee...

So just to add to Arley's triathalon of cognitive milestones, she has started pulling herself up on the windowsill practicing her standing... good grief... is driving that far behind????
