Just in the past few weeks Sophie has decided that she wants to move around more. She started by turning herself in circles on her bottom when she's on the floor. She does this so can can reach more of her toys. Then she started scooting on her bottom a few feet across the room. This is quite the sight! Sometimes it almost looks like she's doing the splits while scooting. It looks painful but she's so flexible I'm sure it's not. Just this past weekend she decided to start lunging and ending up on her hands and knees. Sometimes she gets one leg stuck under her for a little bit. She will rock on her hands and knees and then sometimes flop on her belly. We have discovered that she wanted the laptop that was sitting on the floor. We decided to use it to encourage her! So, we put it on sesamestreet.com and found videos of her favorite characters Elmo and Abby Cadabby. And sure enough she would do whatever she needed to get across the room to reach the laptop! Most recently we have noticed her doing a backwards sort of crawl. When she's on her belly she will push herself backwards across the room. She can also go from on her tummy to a sitting up position (which explains the time I found her sitting up in her crib!). Anyday now we expect her to take off crawling
across the room. And then there will be no rest for mommy and daddy!
