Making progress

Sam is definitely making progress with her crawling. She has seemed to grasp the idea that she needs to move her hands forward, but so far, she doesn’t quite get that her knees have to move too. It is so funny. She moves one hand after the other forward, but because she is not moving her knees at all, her little body gets stretched out until she is so long that she just collapses. Poor little bunny. But, she just gets up and tries again.
Also, today during her bath, she grabbed onto the faucet and started pulling herself up so she could stand. She didn’t quite get there, but her butt was definitely out of the water! Her legs were still bent a bit, but I think she will be pulling herself up to a full stand before long. Even though she isn’t crawling yet she gets herself where she needs to go. She rolls and slides and pulls and manages to move herself wherever she wants to be. It is so cute. One minute she is one place and the next another. I don’t know what we are going to do when she actually begins crawling. I won’t be able to stop her. It will be exhausting keeping her out of trouble, but truthfully, I can’t wait.
