We have Lil' Movers!

Its official, the girls can now crawl!

Annellice was the first to start (7/7/2010). She is very deliberate in her movements and therefore moves at a slower pace than expected at times. Exploring her surroundings is getting more fun by the day. She has found her way to the coffee table and likes to act like she is going to pull up on it but just doesn't know how to put it in action yet. Her next favorite stop if the fireplace as the texture of the brick is fascinating to her.

Alexandra's first attempts were met with trepidation as her confidence wasn't quite up to where her ability level but she eventually got going (7/11/2010). She often will bring her feet to flat position on the floor rather than he knees down so she is really in a little squat position. As silly as it may should she looks like the little critter from Lord of the Rings - little spindly arms and legs all crouched down ready to spring. As expected though Alexandra is a girl on the go. She plays coy like she doesn't know how to do it but when she thinks you are not looking she books it across the play mat with the greatest of ease. This morning what caught my eye is that she uses her toes to push off unlike Annellice who relies on her knee on down her leg.

The next few weekends Kevin and I are both working. Lucky for us they are both somewhat local events - this way we will have time to look at more adequate baby proofing. Let the good times roll!
