I was putting her clothes up in her room today and had placed her in the crib.  All of a sudden I heard laughing and turned around to see what had gotten her tickled.  She was standing up in her crib and was holding on to the top rail.  After I got over the shock, I sat her down and had a long talk with her to explain how she was still a baby and was not supposed to be standing up on her own or crawling around the house like she is doing.  Guess we will be lowering her crib again tonight. 

That's because we are trying to get her to sleep in her crib by herself.  It is really hard.  Mostly because I want her to still stay in our bed.  But she needs to learn to sleep by herself and we need to let her learn it.  I know this is probably the easiest of all the lessons we have to teach her, but it's the hardest yet for me.

We got her a play yard to play in.  It looks like a really small baby jail.  Not sure if I like it or not but it will keep her from getting into trouble and by us some selfish time since we don't have the house childproof yet.  I have put all her favorite toys in it and she seems to liek it so far but she hasn't tried to get out yet.  It's coming though.  She is way to curious and active to be content sitting in a small area.  It will just keep her safe when I need to leave the room. That is my main goal.

She is still the light of our life next to Jesus Christ.  We are truely blessed beyond what we could have ever possibly imagined!
