And we are crawling...

Clint and I have been working with AR to get her to crawl (forwards) and yesterday she finally did it! And even better, we were both there to see it. Here is some video of her practicing:

It Won't Be Long

Anna Ruth has discovered that her crib also doubles as a rock climbing wall. Lately, when I put her down for a nap, I watch her in the monitor try her best to pull herself up for a few minutes before letting sleep win the battle.

Here is one of the first times I noticed her pulling up:

And, even though she can't crawl in a forward motion, she is getting good at backwards and perfecting the "roll" to get her around. I sat her down on the floor in the middle of her room the other day to hang up some clothes in her closet. I hung up 2 shirts and looked over to see her sticking out under the crib. This girl has places to go and she wants to get there in a hurry!
