The thirty-fourth week

I was planning to write about how Madeline has been coming this close to crawling this week, along with posting this video from a couple days ago, but that was overtaken by events today. This week Madeline has been trying so hard to crawl - squirming around, bouncing up on her hands and feet, and even pushing herself backward.

But today Lacey and I watched as she propelled herself in a straight line toward my guitar, which was laying several feet away on the floor. She got up on her hands and knees and moved herself with intent. She's still trying to get her motions coordinated - she alternates between getting up on all fours and sliding on her tummy. I'm still hesitant to officially call it crawling, but it's about as close as she can get.

You all are so blessed to be able to capture all these landmark moments, as opposed to being told by a babysitter about Madeline's daily developments.

Ditto the first comment--It's worth the lack of sleep, isn't it!
