Seoul is on the move! A few weeks ago she decided she would try this crawling business. Picture it: she's up on her hands and knees. Good start. Then, instead of the typical crawling with both knees, the left is bent under her body like she is sitting. The right is bent with the foot at an odd angle on the floor. She pushes off with her right foot, pulling/dragging the left leg underneath her. It causes her to push off to the side rather than a straight line. Kelley calls it the "dead man's crawl" and it's adorable. Really. She has become quite adept at this motion, though, and shows no sign of the classic crawling motions. (no great pics of this crawling, sorry!)
One day I went to get her from her nap and she was STANDING in the corner of her crib with the expression "oops - you caught me!" She had not rolled from back to front yet so it was a total surprise. Since then it is exciting to see her little head poke over the top of the rail with a big smile knowing I'm going to pick her up. Of course we moved the crib to the lowest setting. The only downside is that she doesn't go down for naps as easily. It might coincide with her trying to drop out the 3rd nap of the day, though. She's down to two and most of the time she still lays down to sleep easily. Just every once in a while now she just stands at the side and cries. It breaks my heart.
These days she is all over the place and it's so FUN!! I love all these milestones. She has been pulling herself up on furniture for months so now she enjoys crawling to each piece of furniture or toy. She's super quick at pulling herself up, and she balances more often without holding onto anything. Her new favorite trick is to pick things up while she's standing. Yay for mobile babies! Love it!
