Crawling



Hailey is doing it! I'm so relieved and excited to finally see her moving and grooving. On Tuesday night we had a physical therapy session and Karen was baffled by the fact that Hailey could not crawl. It seemed that no matter how bad she wanted something she couldn't figure out how to get her legs to move. Since she is cruising and dancing while standing up, Karen couldn't figure out why she couldn't get the crawling movement down.
Wednesday morning Hailey crawled backwards at daycare.
Fast forward to Saturday. I left Hailey in our bedroom just outside the bathroom door while I was getting close out of the laundry room. I came back and Hailey was gone and the bathroom door was closed. I opened the door slowly to see Hailey crawling (forward) back and forth across the floor. As soon a she saw me, she sat down and started to cry. She doesn't really seem to enjoy the crawling but she will if she wants something otherwise she would prefer to cruise around.
She has discovered how to pull the nightlights out of the plugs and leave them on the floor behind her. The dogs follow and chew them up.
