The Amazing CeiRai

By the way, I don't think I've put that CeiRai (pronounced KayRay) is Ceili Rain's nickname.  And yes, she answers to that.

This afternoon we were trying to extend her wake up time, so I was playing the ever fun, "Ride a Little Horsey" with her.  She loves that game.  A couple of days ago, we were playing it and I told her to say, "more" and showed her how to do it in sign.  She kind of ignored me but we "practiced" a couple more times before she tired of the game.  Yesterday, as we played I said, "Say more if you want to do it again."  She slapped those hands together like she had been signing all along.  She didn't just do it once but several times and when she was done she stopped asking for more.  She did it again that night.

And...to top off her already pretty cool day...she CRAWLED while at church Wednesday night!  The cool thing was that Mark got to see her go at it.  Since he works and I stay home, I would say I've been able to see a majority of the "firsts" for all the kids...but Mark got to see this one.  Again, she plopped herself on all fours and took three or four paces like she'd been doing it all along.  I knew she was getting close because you could watch her concentrating and working to figure out what to do anytime she wanted to go somewhere.  She'd plop a hand out and then kind of rock on her knees trying to figure out what to do but couldn't quite get it.  She would then resort to the adorable throw down on the floor and roll.  It got her where she was going but she finally saw her friend Megan taking off and decided to follow in her crawl steps.

Will I have video?  Yes, as soon as I replace the batteries in the camera...stay tuned...
