It won't be long now
As I've mentioned, I try to give El plenty of floor time to strengthen her little muscles. I still can't get her to roll from her tummy to her back again, and she is getting even closer to rolling from back to tummy. But today, I realized that my plan to make sure she was developing physically might be backfiring. I had her on her stomach today, and she wanted desperately to get a block just out of reach:
You can see it in her eyes. After stretching out both arms and finding it too far away, she resorted to this:
Well crap. She just has to figure out a few more things, and she'll be crawling. I suppose now would be the time to start childproofing everything. On the bright side, I was considering my need for more exercise. I suppose chasing her around all day should fit the bill.

It's so funny, I love watching D trying to figure out new things, crawling, walking, etc. and getting super excited when he'd accomplish them...until we realized that "crap, now he's walking" and we have to chase him everywhere. Because it's true, once they start, they don't stop! Keep up the good work, Dad!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing, isn't it? Especially when you can tell there are little gears working inside that head. Today, El was also trying to figure out how to get the blocks that kept falling off of her jumperoo. A few times she pulled them up by their tethers, but I think that was more accident than design.
