Oh my goodness, I’m the parent of a child who is mobile. Last week my eight-month-old little girl rolled to her intended destination. This week she crawls. It’s a major milestone.

I immediately realized how un-babyproofed our home is.

Is there a way to teach babies this tiny not to touch things like electrical outlets? Do they learn that curtains aren’t a good thing to pull up on?

Admittedly, the following video will not be exciting to some of you, but if you’re interested in seeing our little girl start to go, all you have to do is click play:

God, help us. Our child can go wherever she wants. It’s the end of an era. Now I have to wonder what would happen if she eats the leaves of our houseplants or munches on a dead bug she’s found {not that there’s any of those in our house, or anything}.

I have a feeling that she won’t be crawling long. Even though she just started crawling a few days ago, most of the time she only crawls to something she can pull up on. It won’t be long until she’s walking.

God, help us.

Until next time, grace and peace.
