We all feel a little inadequate at some point, especially us out of the home working moms. <br />Please don't force her to crawl. She may she may not and either is ok. Trust in your dr not the daycare provider. <br />It is fun to be able to do fun things with your kids. But it's hard to find the time. I am now just figuring out that tasks sometimes have to wait. Yea my house is often cluttered, laundry is piled and I never sent the thank you cards because I never made it to the post office but damn it I was having fun with my kids. I have never taken the kids to the mall to see Santa but somehow we manage to see him somewhere, but I've only gotten one picture! I try to do Xmas cards but I usually end up sending new years because I'm too busy this time of year at work and work longer hours and well just don't have the time. You do what you can when you can. With kids it's not about quantity but quality of time. Hang in there!

I rolled everywhere, my mother said I hated the feel of the floor on my hands. I would lay on my tummy with my hands off the floor. I finally got tired of rolling and stood up. Not every child crawls.<br /><br />As long as she has healthy musculature I would tell the daycare if they want to work on it, feel free but you have other things on your plate where she is concerned. <br /><br />I really hate it when "experts" make mom's feel less than! <br /><br />You take the pictures of your baby that you want, you share as much or as little as you want. She is adorable and I love seeing the pictures you post. <br /><br />From what I see, I think you are doing a great job!<br /><br />♥<a href="http://lillian-davis.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Lily-thinking thoughts</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934178675925534780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537634935444359971.post-66928970904971507472012-12-11T16:16:16.551-05:002012-12-11T16:16:16.551-05:00Girl.

No fun adventures here. Just hanging at home and STILL trying to get solid sleep! Ha. I know how you feel.

They learn on their own pace, please don't stress. The most helpful thing you can do is put her on her tummy and put really interesting objects in front of her but out of her reach (Norah really liked my laptop) <br /><br />I know a ton of little boys that basically didn't say a word until they turned 3 but then after that talk perfectly fine. Each child is so different. She will just up & start crawling one of these days or go strait to walking. As far as where you are taking her, don't stress about that either. She is little, she just needs life experiences and different things to look at and do. She can get just as much out of running errands with you as she can get going to the zoo. As long as you are talking to her the whole time & pointing things out. The world is full of wonderful learning opportunities. <br /><br />But posing her in front of the tree for pictures? Yes, you should be doing that.<br /><br />Just kidding!! As long as you do it eventually, like on Christmas, that is ENOUGH. <br /><br />You are doing great!
