Mobile Olivia!

For weeks Olivia has been tantalizingly close to crawling-- she could spin in circles, push her herself backwards, and even move sideways.  But she couldn't quite figure out how to go forward...

We tried getting her to go forward by putting all sorts interesting things in front of her, just out of reach.






"Crawling is hard...perhaps I will just walk."
Today after her 8 month check-up, we sat her down on the floor to play and she just started moving!  Something must have just clicked all the sudden :)  Right now she employs the "slow and steady wins the race" method, but she can most definitely crawl now!

  3. Sigh... I've never been able to post a video of my children crawling (and it doesn't look like it will be happening any time soon).

    Derek likes the pic of Olivia in the circle of toys that are tantalizingly out of her reach, and he is currently constructing a similar circle in our living room, but it has to be really big because Kyla has really long arms!
