Oh the changes that a month or two will bring. Cash came over to hang with Em last Thursday. I was expecting a nice quiet evening, watching to kids play together on the floor. Instead, we got a reality check of what is to come in the near future. Cash is a mere 3 weeks older than Emma, but man has he developed some leg strength. It wasn't a couple of seconds after sitting him on the floor next to Emma, that he was pulling himself up on our coffee table, crawling after Darby, or doing one-legged squats (I think this must be part of his workout routine that has made him so buff!) Emma was definitely intrigued by Cash's new skills. She took one look at him standing next to the sofa on his own, and immediately thought... "this boy totally rocks!" Emma had me hold her up next to him by the couch, so she could appear older, and hope that Cash might take a notice. Cash was playing it cool though, and was like..."Yah, it's no biggie...I've been standing around like this for days now".
So, Cash has inspired Emma to try to start pulling herself up and crawl now too. She is not quite there yet (thankfully--mom and dad need a little more time to hide cords, and cover outlets), but now that she has seen what kind of fun one can have with increased mobility, there is no turning back.
