Crawling, again


It was an exciting moment a couple weeks ago when Madeline crawled for the first time. As I expected, she didn't really do it again after that - she often picks up a new skill and then forgets about it for days or even weeks before really getting the hang of it. It was the same with rolling over, for example.

Today Madeline has been crawling* all day. I even got this video of her crossing the room to grab the video camera in my lap. Who knows if she'll crawl again tomorrow, but given the vigor, spirit and frequency of today's crawls, I suspect it will become more common.

*When I say crawling, I'm talking about true hands-and-knees crawling. She's been very effective at getting around using her Army crawl for the past several weeks.

CRAWL BABY CRAWL! Way to go Madeline- you have just become the Queen of the house. You can TRY to go anywhere you want (of course those big guys called parents will try to get in your way - just crawl faster!)

Way to go, Madeline! You're moving now!

Take a picture of those perfect, unblemished knees, Daddy. They are about to go the way of all remnants of infancy--they'll toughen up and be ready to tackle anything, like Madeline herself. Do I sound wistful? It's all so fast!
