EXTRA, EXTRA....READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Today is the day.
The day that will soon lead to the rest of my sanity slipping from my grips.
Daughter #2 is now MOBILE!
Watch out Anna, Ansley is on your heels.

About 10 minutes ago I was ecstatic at the new feat my "baby girl" had accomplished. I was so excited for her. However, by the time I clicked the "new post" tab, reality had hit me. I FEEL OLD and kinda helpless. How will I ever keep the house even straightened up with 2...count them ... 1....2 very active girls on the loose.

While I recollect myself, let me run through the events leading up to "THE MOMENT" this morning.

I had just finished sweeping and vacuuming and sat Ansley back in the floor [her favorite place] to play. She has been so close to crawling these past 2 weeks that I decided to try to lure her to me across the living room floor. As I tempted her with my cell phone, she ever so slowly assumed the crawling position and THERE IT WAS. She was so proud of herself. She giggled the whole way to the phone.

So you may be wondering about Anna and her response to this. It was interesting to say at the least. Kind of like when she first saw Ansley in the hospital room after delivery.
*FLASHBACK*
As I lay in the hospital bed, still feeling pretty good from the meds and epidural, Adam and I were admiring our newest family addition. We couldn't decide exactly who she looked most like. I do believe my exact answer was "Well, she looks familiar!" =) Not too much time passed before my mom-in-law[Mimi] came in with Anna on her hip.
We had been talking with Anna about the new baby for several months before delivery and she would also talk about her baby sister. But this moment proved that she didn't completely comprehend the "baby situation". She looked intently at the small bundle in my arms and never said a word. We told her this was Ansley Morgan, her little sister. Mimi asked if she would like to kiss her. Anna, without skipping a beat said yes, but when Mimi leaned down to let her she QUICKLY pulled back as if to say "WHAT ARE YOU DOING AND WHAT IS THAT?"
Now I have mentioned in previous posts how much Anna loves her sister. This love started the day that we came home from the hospital. All the kisses and hugs flowed once we were home.
*End Flashback*
As Ansley began to crawl it was as if Anna was appauled. So what did she do you ask?
 She also crawled!
 She is now ,20 minutes later, very excited about the mobility of her sister. She is letting Ansley chase her ,pretending that she can actually crawl fast enough to catch her. It's cute =).
