the easy days..and padded corners

Bailey has started to crawl...and if this doesnt make things harder then here is this for you...she pulls up to everything! I mean EVERYTHING! If it is within her reach she will try and conquer it. It's crazy it's hard and I am truely beginning to miss the easy days. Yes compared to this those were the easy days. I am beginning to think its all up hill from here. It is truely a battle she heres lots of no's and uh uh, which in all honesty does nothing she just looks at me and goes right back to where i just pulled her away from. It has even gotten as bad as her smiling at me and shaking her head no...at me! Well I mean I know that she wasn't really saying no but it did show her "I do what I want" side. Ok I sound like a harsh parent here now and don't get me wrong I love to watch her determination. She takes things as if she is the conquerer and nothing can deafeat her...except that darn hearth of the fire place she has bumped her head on the brick so many times you would think she would learn. I have even invested in the corner padding which does help but it doesnt change the fact that the brick is still open for head bumping and scraping. If only they made foam that went all the way around so that it was like a padded room?! On a much lighter note I am happy to say that she has completed her swimming classes for the month and I can't wait for the next ones. At least I can teach her something!
