WORK IT, BABY!

I watch Audrey all day to see what new thing she will do. What milestone she will reach and , of course, how fast she moves! Her crawling is not full belly off the floor on hands and knees. It's more like GI Jane, commando style where she pulls with her hands and elbows and pushes with her legs. It's really cute and you'd probably think so too if you were her mom! Audrey is practicing her standing and pulling herself up to anything she can grab hold of.

As I think about this, all I can think is "WOW!" She sure is strong. She's persistent and consistent. Think about it. All day long, if Audrey isn't eating or sleeping, she is on the move! Getting stronger and stronger. Low and behold it pays off. All of her "exercise" gets her to the next step.

Audrey doesn't give up and guess what? Her hard work and perseverance pays off. First she was able to roll over, then crawl and sit up, next pulling herself up to stand and soon enough she will be taking her first unsupported walking steps. By the way, my friend, Jen (she has twin toddlers), insists it actually gets easier when they walk and I choose to believe her.

So what's the point of this (besides showing off Audrey)? Easy...keep at it...day by day. It gets easier the more you do it and your workouts only pay off with consistency. So follow Audrey's lead and WORK IT, BABY! and have a little fun, too!
