She is not fast but she is mobile. Crawling has come slowly. It has seemed that she was on the verge for a few weeks. It is funny how kids are so different. Katherine learned to crawl by pushing up when she was on her tummy. Caroline hated tummy time so she would roll over as soon as she was on her tummy. Sure enough, she learned to crawl by getting on all fours from the sitting position. She still does not spend much time on her tummy.
She has been moving in about a 3 foot circle all week. She moves from sitting to all fours to sitting again. Yesterday though she really started to move in a true crawl. It is still very slow but in a matter of a few minutes she moved from the middle of the den into the kitchen.
And true to baby form, one f the first things she crawled to Hooligan's bone and then Hooligan's food. I don't know what it is about the dog food but all babies migrate toward it.
The bowl was tipped over for the first but certainly not for the last time. Our dog will not eat her food outside or in her room (the laundry room) so either Caroline will have to learn not to touch it or Hooligan will have to eat when Caroline is not around.
Caroline also learned to pull up today. She has been pulling up to her knees for about 2 weeks. The past 2 nights she has pulled to her feet in her crib. Today she pulled up out of her crib for the first time.
She promptly let go of one hand. I expected her to do a face plant but she set herself down very gently.
Then she crawled under the kitchen chairs. She was stuck but luckily did not realize it before I rescued her.
This is a fun but challenging stage, learning to be mobile. There are lots of boo-boos and boundaries have to be defined. It will make things a little more crazy around here but with every skill that Caroline
acquires, it makes it more fun for Katherine to play with her

I am so not ready for this! Here's hoping we're more than two weeks behind on this milestone!
