"God expects you to have enough faith and determination and enough trust in Him to keep moving, keep living, keep rejoicing. In fact, He expects you not simply to face the future (that sounds pretty grim and stoic); He expects you to embrace and shape the future--to love it and rejoice in it and delight in your opportunities."

~Elder Holland, Apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Catherine in Motion

Catherine learned to crawl about 3 weeks ago. She loves being able to explore and have more control over her environment! She loves to play "chase" where we crawl behind her saying "I'm gonna get you!". She just cracks up. She also loves to pull herself up to stand and walk while holding our hands. She can even balance standing up all by herself, but hasn't taken any steps on her own yet. We think she'll be walking by her first birthday! She loves getting into things she shouldn't and likes to crawl under things. Unfortunately, this also means she gets stuck a lot! Here are pictures of Catherine in motion, enjoy! (she's about 9 1/2 months old in these)
