While some members of the family have been anxiously awaiting Vanessa learning to crawl, her mom wasn’t too excited. I just wasn’t quite ready for all the problems that happens with a newly mobile child. Well, Vanessa has been doing better and better scootching around the room. This has made it so that we have to make sure that all of Marcus’ little toys are picked up from under the couch. Vanessa is able to find things that are way under there (I didn’t even realize her arms were that long!). Well, today I will say that it is official. While she doesn’t stay up on her knees long, she is getting both of them under her and moving forward a bit before going back to her belly. This of course will lead to her moving much faster and it probably won’t be long before the living room won’t contain her!
Marcus learned to crawl in some weird ways. He actually didn’t crawl at eight months. Instead he learned the under the wire crawl you see in movies and boot camp ideals. He knees would be on either side of him like a little lizard and he would get to moving at scary fast speeds. He tried crawling a few times and decided his way was faster. He was ten or eleven months old before he crawled in a normal manner!
Well, I certainly knew this day was coming and at eight months she is on target rather than early…
But time does fly so fast and with it comes so many changes…
