Megan is crawling

It was official earlier this week.  She has been so close for a couple of weeks now.  She would roll around and almost get up to the sitting position by her self (just had the one arm down holding her up) and then get on all fours and rock.  She would then move one hand forward and then thrust her body forward.  Then she would move get a couple more arm steps in and then thrust.  But then she slowly figured out how to have her arms and legs work together.  Now she is crawling all over.
Megan technically was able to sit up on her own before she crawled.  Tony and I were taking bets on which she would do first.  Last week she started lifting up her arm while seated and was able to balance her self.  Now I can put her down on the floor seated and she can go from there.  With this new movement we are super concerned about her hurting her self on our fire place.  So we are going to get a foam cover for it to keep her safe.  That would just break my heart if she hit her head on that thing.

We are no strangers to babies who are quick movers.  Tyler crawled at 6 months and walked at 9 months.  Josh was more average and crawled at 9 months and walked by his first birthday.  So Megan crawling this early was not that surprising for us.  I didn't really want her that mobile already, but what can you do?  She has a mind of her own and is a baby on a mission.  She also loves to stand up.  She can't stand up on her own, but she can stand on her own for a like 10 seconds or so.  She likes to stand on her tippy toes and she looks like a ballerina.  It is fun to see her hit these milestones - but I would be okay if she took a while before walking.
Megan and Josh currently have colds.  Megan got a fever on Thursday and it has come and gone everyday since.  I have had to give her meds everyday and I hate having to do that.  It did help her fever and I think (hope and pray) that she is on the getting better end of this cold.  Josh has just been stuffy, so I hope that it doesn't get any worse.
