Well, here's what I have to say about it: I am SO HAPPY Daphne can move around on her own. Celebrations! Joy! Happiness!
I think Daphne was born to run. Lying on the floor alone while other people/animals got to go wherever they wanted? Not fair.
In the past months it has been very rare that I could set Daphne on the floor and have her entertain herself happily for a few minutes. She is the Whining Queen, and being left in one spot to have fun on her own was apparently torturous. Now that she can move around she is about a million times happier. Maybe even a trillion times happier. This morning I took a shower and blow-dried my hair all while she scooted happily around the living room. That's like half an hour, people. Previously unheard of. (Accidental moving did nothing for her. You know, rolling a few times and ending up somewhere random. Not good enough.)
A few fun things for her to entertain herself with now that she has a bit of independence:
The hallway mirror,
book time,
and mom's beautification tools.
The kitchen is also a wonderful playground for her. Licking the oven, gnawing on drawer pulls, head-butting the refrigerator; it's all good. This would be why I mix up all my own cleaning products. I had no idea that oven licking or chewing on drawer pulls would be an issue, so I figure using cleaning agents with poison control's phone number on them would not be a good idea. Gotta love harnessing the cleaning power of vinegar and baking soda.
I whip out the camera to take her picture and she turns on the turbo boosters to come flying at me saying, "I will move so fast your pictures will be blurry and my face will look weird."
Or you won't see her face at all as she concentrates on her next destination.

I just can't get enough of her little faces!! and I am so glad "your life won't ever be the same" and she is crawling around!
That's hilarious! I feel the same way about Jude, he's so much more happy now that he can move around. People are telling me it'll all be over once he learns to walk, but I'm looking forward to it.
And that's the same reason I use vinegar and baking soda, too - I love knowing that he's only injesting traces of those two when he's chewing on a window ledge. :)
