Creeping Along with the Crawling
For some reason I thought Finn would just start crawling one day. It would be like Tuesday he wasn't crawling then Wenesday he was. I never expected this to be such a long process.
We now have forward movement. And sideways movement. And backwards movement. He can get up on hands and knees and hands and feet, even hands, one knee, one foot. Just no bonefide on the hands and knees crawling at high rates of speed.
He has accomplished near-crawling, which is a bit like near-beer: just not quite beer, just not quite crawling.
The good news is that with even a little forward movement, Finn's level of frustration has gone way down and mommies are happier. The bad news is that he's already into EVERYTHING, so bonefide crawling strikes fear deep in my heart of darkness.
The horror. The horror.

I was just lecturing about crawling earlier today and things like visual cliffs. It's probably really scary when a baby starts to crawl because they don't realize that edges of crawling surfaces are bad news.
Edie also started a little forward movement (yesterday) on her hands and knees and I too am not terrified. I caught her chewing on an extention cord for christsake! We are doing a bit of babyproofing this weekend needless to say...
