Fiona has been getting up on her hands and knees and rocking since she was about five months old. She’s been creeping along on her belly and rolling around to get places since about that time. Last night, she figured out the crawling thing.
Nothing is safe anymore! She is having a ball crawling around. She crawls in a sort of half-scoot sort of way. Meredith always crawled in the “normal” hands and knees crawl, so it’s pretty cute to see Fiona’s way.
See how her left leg is bent under her? That’s actually how she has been crawling. She gets up on her right knee or foot, but with her left leg she just kind of pushes herself with the leg down. Her arm movements are very exaggerated still. She lifts each arm way up and out to move along. (Though today she’s also been getting up on both feet and crawling in a more monkey-like way too.)
I am loving each new stage all over again, though it sure seems to be going faster with Fiona. Didn’t I just give birth yesterday?
So super cute! Lily was a crawler and Leif was a scooter!
