Just this morning I was explaining to someone that my sweet little nine month old Marin could travel anywhere in the room she wanted to without crawling at all, using some magical combination of rolling, pulling up to her knees and super baby body contortions. And that she has this amazing silent ability to get anything she wants.
So then this afternoon as I sat with her on the living room floor, I half processed the idea that she up and crawled across the room to her toy basket.
Then the double take, because SHE CRAWLED ACROSS THE ROOM TO THE TOY BASKET.
(Look out, sleeping dog, you're next.)
I do not remember there being an exact day that either KJ or Jack crawled. One day they were rolling, then army crawling, and then somewhere in there each of them realized they could stop buffing our hardwoods with their bellies, and crawled.
But today I got an exact first with this baby, how fun! The world, or at least the main level of our house, is her playground, for sure.
As is her new table toy,
and apparently the paparazzi equipment, as well.
I'm pretty sure she's the most gorgeous girl, ever! I love all the pix! Her brothers must be thrilled that she can now get into their stuff....oh the joy!

The AMAZING MISSY SISSY!!! Better make sure that you gate those 2 sets of stairs or you'll find her all over the house! Did she pull herself up at the table or did KJ plop her there? Love those kids!!!! Gramma

I'm laughing at the double take. At my sister-in-law's this weekend, I was just telling them that my youngest could pull up but is not "cruising"...a little while later she and I realized he was on the other side of the ottoman than he had been before and we weren't sure if he crawled or cruised.

Oh, the picture taking will now get 10 times harder!
She does look very happy with her new talent - way to go Marin!

My daughter is almost 11 months and she's already walking. Fun times are ahead. Kids, they're doing everything earlier these days.
