santa's helpers

i have started to utilize my "pick things up from the floor" helpers.
i should have been doing this all along.
so happy to have two this time.
b/c if one is unwilling,
there's always another:)

and

i can no longer get my leg up on its own without using my hands to lift it higher than half of a foot off of the ground.

like over brooke's baby gate.

i had to pull my own leg up over her baby gate today.
we had a good laugh over it.
and then i may or may not have waddled for a step or two just after.
may or may not have.
just sayin.
