This post is dedicated to David. There is really nothing too novel about a baby crawling...unless it is yours! Lucy started kind of crawling a few weeks ago. It was a combination of rolling, getting up on her hands and knees moving her hands forward then backward, back to sitting and then just rolling where she wanted to go in the first place. By the end of last week she did a tiny bit of a crawl with her legs (like maybe 3 crawls) and then, of course, the day David left she started crawling circles around the entire house. Anyway, David had been missing out on all the excitement I have been trying to explain on the phone, so here it is!
And it took about 10 minutes of bribing to get it. It only took 2 seconds once I threw Reeses all over the floor!
While trying to get the crawling moment, I got some hilarious mirror footage:
I turned the camera off when she bonked her head because I was sure she would cry and I was getting ready to rescue her. I couldn't believe she didn't even make a peep and just kept enjoying the mirror. I don't think it will be too long before Lucy can pull herself up on things. She is trying really hard, but has a hard time getting a good grip. Anyway, Lucy has quite the little mirror friend!
We sure love and miss you Dave! We are thinking of you all the time. Lucy says she will work really hard on her tricks while you are gone so she can show off when you get home!
