God help us. She's mobile.

All hail the baby gate. Mackay is on the move. I wouldn't call it crawling, exactly. She looks sort of like an inchworm. She gets on her hands and knees, and then stretches her hands out in front until she's flat on the ground again. Then she pulls her knees in again (she'd be great at Pilates) and gets ready to move another 3 inches. She's not going to set any land-speed records, but she is getting where she wants to go.

She also stood up on her own for the first time. With a death grip on the edge of her pack and play, and a lot of grunting, she was able to haul herself up to standing. Despite swaying like a drunken sailor, she looked pretty pleased with herself.

I'm open for any good tips on babyproofing. :-)

We saw on our ChargePoint App that there was a fast charger at a place call the Bread Board in Lander, WY. We stopped for breakfast, and were pleasantly surprised by great bread/sandwiches, and a single charger that offered 5$ an hour (pro-rated if you don't stay a full hour) for charging, at a speedy 45 mph (not Tesla, supercharger speedy, which can top 360 mph, but very good for a generic all purpose charger). We headed out after breakfast and made our way south. Super cool canyon walls outside Grand Teton We continued on the winding roads, whose speed limit quickly jumped to 80 MPH, which I thought was pretty awesome. Around each bend, we found new terrain... Bill converted this to black and white, but the low boulders and general lack of color really made us feel like we were

Mackay is Teething!

Big news. Guess what....Mackay loved having her sore gums soothed with little dabs of bourbon...she thought about it, liked it, and she calmed down...mostly. This is Rosi, Mackay's godmother...not fairy...letting you all know that teething babies like a little bourbon. And no, this doesn't make them alcoholics for life.

She sits!

Drum roll please. Mackay sat up today. By herself! For several minutes. She even picked up a couple toys without falling over. It's very exciting. My, has my definition of excitement changed since I had a baby.
