A little friendly wager.

Andrea and I have watched Anniston grow and develop over the last 6 months. Some of it has happened faster than either of us would have expected. But there was one thing that I was sure of, sure enough to bet Andrea on. I wagered that Anniston would be crawling before Christmas Day. I made this little wager while she was still working on rolling over and starting to try to get to her hands and knees. She was not even doing the military crawl yet. Andrea accepted the bet, with hopes of getting to go to the spa for a massage. Over the next several weeks, there were times that I was convinced she was crawling, but none met the approval of Andrea. I did not give up, I kept working with her. On Christmas Eve, after bath time, with time winding down...she crawled across her room to get to something that she was not supposed to be in. She was off her belly, hands and knees crawling across the room! I won! I was surprised, shocked and impressed all at the same time. Here is a little video clip about a week later, once she was really starting to motor across the floor.  this video is the first I have tried to post on the blog, so I hope it works.  It is less than 7mb, so give it a minute to load depending on your internet speed.
