we have a (real) crawler...

karys starting crawling today. it's a real crawl and (unlike her army crawl) she was up on all fours (with her belly off the ground). i've been trying to get her to crawl to me for a little while but of course she didn't crawl to me. instead, miss k decided to crawl to play with something she shouldn't play with (the fireplace tools). now that's she's really mobile i've been saying no (and redirecting her/moving her away from stuff she shouldn't have) ALL day. guess it's really time to really baby proof the house...

the army crawl...

k has learned to move forward. she does an army crawl (mix between a scoot and a crawl). she looks so cute but gets so frustrated because she's not getting where she wants to fast enough. i keep hearing "once she starts crawling/walking you'll wonder why you wanted her to because she'll get into EVERYTHING." guess i'm a glutton for punishment (remember i'm in a Ph.D. program) but i can't wait for her to crawl/walk...
