Scooter

So for about a month or so now Sarah has been able to get up on all fours and rock back and forth like she was just so-so-so-close to crawling. So we have been long anticipating the day. About a week ago, she started scooting, mostly backward across the floor when she was trying to go forwards. This resulted in her ending up stuck in some unanticipated spot, like half under the coffee table with her front half sticking out; or half under the sofa with her front half sticking out; or half under the curtains, with her front half . . .

As of today, however, Sarah can move forward. Oh the trouble she has gotten into today!! She is not 100% crawling just yet, sort of half-crawling/half-scooting but she can now decide where she wants to go and make it there in a few seconds, which is pretty much going to revolutionize her life and ours. Sorry no video of this yet--the video camera battery needs to be charged. But I promise video of her "crawl" soon! First on the list--BABY PROOFING!!!!
