On the move!

Sam is finally crawling! Today I had her on the ground playing like usual in our family room. I was sitting watching the news and had my netbook on the floor. Sam is all about computers…I think she is just attracted to the screen more than anything. Well, every time it sits on the floor, she goes after it and I am always pulling it away from her. Today she decided she wanted it and went for it. She crawled over to it and started banging away. I couldn’t believe it.
She looked so darn cute. She crawls really slowly like she is concentrating very, very hard. Every move is so deliberate. It’s like you can see the wheels spinning in her head – “leg, arm, other leg, arm again….” She doesn’t go very far before she falls over flat and she sort of goes sideways a bit when she is crawling. I was so shocked when I saw her that I yelled down to Mark, who had just gone into the basement to start working, and he came up and saw her do it too. We kept practicing with her all day long so she’d get more comfortable with the whole thing and boy was she worn out! She took an hour nap in the morning, then two hours later, took another hour and a half nap. She went to bed pretty early too. I can’t believe she finally on the move. Any day now she won’t be going so slow and she’ll be tooling all over the house!
