She's crawling!

Juliette has begun to crawl. She's definately enjoying the freedom.

Baking + Juliette = Mistakes

So I'm going to have to be a bit more carefull baking while dealing with Juliette. I failed to read my recipe completely through and missed the part about refridgerating the dough for a couple of hours. Oops. Also, while doubling the recipe I didn't double the flour. Thankfully, I caught my mistakes before all was lost. The first half of a gingerbread house came out fine. Thankfully I make these houses knowing that I won't be eating them. I over cook the gingerbread to make it sturdier for the house.

Last night our smoke detector decided to go off at 2:30am, then went off again 10 minutes later and then one more time. With the way the house is wired, when one alarm goes off, they all go off. Amazingly, Juliette managed to sleep through the whole thing, including the vacuuming of the culprit alarm right outside her bedroom door.

I give it a week...

I give it a week before Juliette is crawling. Yesterday, she was getting into position but would just flop back down onto her stomach. Today, she is actually starting to move forword a little before she flops down. I guess I should start baby proofing the house. Well, at least Bryan needs to get his PS3 off the floor since she has a thing for expensive electronics. She's also starting to sit up from the crawling position. Soon will be gone the days where I could set her down on the floor and step out of the room for a moment without any worries.

Happy Halloween!
