Living Arrangements Part Deux


Diningroom

So, We had a gymboree weekend. We went on Saturday and on Sunday. I may have neglected to mention the fact that Nora has a gimpy crawl. That is to say she pulls with one foot and slides the other one along...picture igor as a nine month old. It is still an effective crawl, but it looks kinda funny.
Because the studio isn't terribly big she gets pretty bored with seeing the same stuff. Gymboree promised to make up for that. For the uninitiated, Gymboree is like a giant obstacle course for babies. There are slides and balls and tunnels oh my. We figured that just plopping her down on the soft mat would be like releasing a whale into the open ocean. However, that didn't happen. Nora meerly sat holding a ball for something like 30 minutes while all the other children happy crawled about: up and down the slide, through the tunnel, and around the balance beam. The last couple of minutes she finally crawled to the teacher who mesmerized the babies with her bubble blowing contraption. Day two went much better, she only sat with the ball for 20 minutes and eventually did crawl throught the tunnel thingie. But then again she did learn to wave yesterday. Ahhhh.

What bedroom? It's so discretely concealed! Hehe...

Sounds like the Norster has the infamous army crawl workin'. It has to be mighty cute. Which only supports my theory that she won a Cutest Baby Evor contest.
