Tess is Crawling Everywhere!

I meant to post these pictures a month ago, but the holidays came and everything got crazy and I forgot about them. So Tess is 9 months old now but is less than 8 months in these pictures. ( I haven't taken 9 month pictures of her yet. I had to send my camera into canon. I bent somthing on it trying to put in a new cf card, but thats another post.) She has been crawling for a while. She is always moving. She doesn't just sit, ever. She's not a cuddler either, which makes me so sad. Anyway, I was trying to take pictures of her after a bath one morning and she kept crawling away. I had very specific poses I was trying to get, but she wasn't havin it.
I love the little tonge sticking out in these pictures. For a while she did this all the time, but just in the last month has pretty much stopped doing it. She is growing and changing so fast.

This is a picture of the first time Tess wandered out of the room herself and got into something she shouldn't. The other day she was trying to get to a piece something on the floor, saw that I saw her, and then crawled as fast as she could to get to it before me. When did she get so smart?
