Little Houdini...

Maren: Mom calls me the little Houdini now because this last week I've rapidly increased my crawling speed and have figured out how to pull myself up to standing on anything I can get my hands on. This allows me to get into so many more things! Last night I decided that Mom and sister weren't paying attention to me so I was going to get out of my crib and find them. Unfortunately, I hadn't yet learned the physics priniciple that what goes up must come down. After climbing over the side of the crib I quickly came crashing down to the floor. Mom immediately dropped the crib mattress to the lowest setting after that little stunt. Today I pulled another little Houdini trick on her. While we were at the grocery store, Whitney and I were securely strapped into the rocket ship cart. However when Mom turned to get some granola bars off the shelf, I quickly manuvered myself out of the seatbelt and was standing in the seat when she turned back around. She says I'm way too young to have learned that trick.
