On the Move

Taelyn is now mobile! She started the army crawl on Monday where she dives forward with her arms and then drags her feet behind. It began at baby library time this week when she saw the play mat at the end of the class. The instructor started to lay toys on the mat, and Taelyn was on the move. She lunged right toward the mat, and was the first baby there, playing with the toys. Then I watched her laying in the living room at home on Tuesday with her eye on a bouncy ball. She went after it to attack, but each time she tried, she would push it further away. After about a minute of this, she ended up in the kitchen for the first time. I learned that not only do I have to keep the place baby-safe now, but I also have to keep it clean and vacuumed because Taelyn seemed to find every little crumb tucked under the cracks of the counter-tops!
