Over the Edge

So I don't know if it can quite be considered "crawling" but Anja is definitely moving forward. And in straight lines! Her method is kind of inefficient, but she gets there. She just kind of pushes herself along with her face on the ground. It's really silly looking.

I've found that when I make the beds, it makes the big room (our new bedroom) look slightly less like a pile of junk and slightly more like a place where decent people live. The biggest problem so far with moving downstairs is the animals. As of now, we have no door to close off this room from the rest of the house, which means the animals are free to come and go as they please. This means that Karenin wants to be on the beds at all times, and Theodore wants to sleep on Anja's face. As a result, Theodore gets locked in the upstairs bathroom nightly, and Karenin is within an inch of her life at any given time. I'm going to ask my mom today if we can borrow their baby gate. We are going to build a half-door when Martin gets back from Terre Haute; we were going to do it before he left, but we decided to scrap that idea and be lazy on his last day home instead.

Hahahahaha, that last picture of Anja is hilarious! Yeah, I realized yesterday morning at 5 AM that the reason why Colette has been waking up so much (5 times a night) is not because she is teething, but because Penny the kitten keeps getting in her crib at night to try to get her to play. Since it's been a little cooler, we just closed Colette's bedroom door last night. She didn't wake up ONCE! It was glorious. And Penny slept all night, too. (Unfortunately in bed with us. But we were just glad to get the sleep.) Baby gates are wonderful; we use one of my mom's frequently. I'm not sure what we'll do with the cat when it gets hot again. (We only have a windown unit AC in the living room, so it's not like we always have the option of closing Colette's door. We might end up putting Penny in the garage with her water and litter box at night. We'll see!
