Just this past week she is able to "crawl" - it's a combination of army crawl, scoot and actual hands/knees crawling - across a room and from one room to another (...and without bribing her by putting her favorite toys or food in front of her! haha)!
this was a few weeks ago - it didn't get her anywhere at the time because she would get into position and then flatten out like a pancake. but i'm sure it helped to stretch and strengthen those muscles!
since she was about 7 1/2 months old, she has LOVED LOVED LOVED standing. of course she couldn't do this on her own, so she learned to find our fingers (seriously, she looks for fingers so she can grab on and pull up to her feet). then she advanced to holding on to tables/chairs to stand. she is now learning how to pull herself up on objects and walk around while holding on to tables/chairs...finally! it is getting really hard to constantly walk the girl around with my fingers!!
she was playing peekaboo with daddy and cracking up!!!!!!!! it was sooooo cute!
this is a super fun stage but i can already forsee a lot of bumps on the head, daily vacuuming and sierra keeping mommy busy!!!!!!!!!!
you just wait, mommy...you think you're busy now... wait 'til she starts walking! but, yes, it's a fun stage right now... you'll find yourself saying that over and over...
