Crawling just in time for Christmas...

...because the Christmas tree needles look delicious, the tree skirt looks better in a wad near the sofa than under the tree, and the ornaments make excellent teethers. Now that she is crawling, keeping her away from the tree has been a huge calorie burner. None of her toys - even the ones that make sounds - are as interesting at this 6 foot tree in our living room.

Momentarily distracted by Chili, the penguin.

I am taking along a book for the trip.
