Our Lazy Baby

This post was going to be entirely about how lazy Netta is, it still partially is, but I am happy to announce that one week shy of 11 months she finally started crawling. I was seriously concerned that her laziness would keep her from ever crawling or walking. I knew she could do it if she wanted to, but she just seemed content to crawl about 3 steps and then dive and wiggle till she got what she wanted. Finally today she was across the room when EZ started playing with one of her favorite toys and she just took off to go join him. I was so proud. Now I know it was in a way a blessing that she wasn't really mobile, but I am excited she can crawl now so that she can show more of her personality and keep herself entertained longer without help from me. Sadly though, this could mark the end of her and EZ's friendship since already today she was all up in his business and he was not liking it. So here is a quick video of Netta finally crawling. As you can hear in the background, EZ is seriously obsessed with "Shooting Star" and the 3 minutes I spent videoing him were evidently not enough.

Oh and I didn't forget this is still a post about how lazy Netta is. In addition to trying to get her to start crawling, we have also been working on getting her to feed herself. She can do it if she wants to but she is more content to pick up the food and then hand it to you so you can then feed it to her. If she only realized how much faster it would be just to do it herself. She is so lazy that yesterday at Olive Garden we lined up some little pieces of bread stick in front of her so she could try and pick them up and instead, when she realized we weren't going to feed them to her, she bent her head all the way down to the table and attempted to suck them up like a vacuum. Oh Netta.
