Crawling!!!

Well, she officially took those first crawling steps today! So exciting! And so scary all at the same time.
Now we really have to get some cleaning done in the house and move LOTS of things!

We have been working on getting her to crawl for a little while now. She has been ready, just couldn't coordinate it quite yet. Each time, we would put her favorite blue ball or stuffed bear just a little out of reach and let her try to get it.
It would frustrate her more than anything else.

This morning, I was pumping and letting her play on the floor and it happened. She didn't go toward Beary, her favorite bear, or the blue ball, or anything else that she loves to play with. She went full speed toward the container of baby snacks. As if she was on a mission! Crawling over bunched up blankets on the floor. Crawling over other toys. Just to get snacks.
Yep. That is my child. It is all about the snacks.

And of course, at the time, I didn't have the video camera. (new rule of thumb, keep the camera at our side at all times!)
And of course, since then, we have tried to video her crawling several times after and she just gets tired and flops down and gets cranky. Full force crawling for snacks takes it out of a baby!

So now she is asleep on Daddy's shoulder. Hopefully she is dreaming about all the great things she can crawl and get now. Knowing her, she is dreaming about snacks. And the stuff she can now crawl to get that is not for babies. Yep. That's my girl!
