Baby Steps...sort of

Last weekend I had predicted that Melita would be racing around the house by Thanksgiving. With not much progress from getting on all fours and rocking, Thanksgiving morning came and went. The day after AKA Black Friday started off just the same with Saturday being no different.

But everything changed this morning...she figured out she needed to move her arms AND legs to get herself mobile. She spent the morning crawling all over the living room trying to get her hands on a magazine. Of course, I kept moving the magazine just out of reach and the more she practiced the better she got at it. Her crawling still isn't perfect; she looks more like an inch worm--stretching out on her belly and then drawing her legs up underneath in almost a hop/scoot motion when she realizes that she isn't quite long enough to reach her prize and she needs to move her whole body. But she is getting from point A to B on all fours.

We also decided to put up the Christmas Tree this morning.

Pandora's Box has just been opened. This Christmas could be interesting.

PS. We made a quick video of Melita in action and once I figure out (read: have patience) how to upload movies, I will. It's quite cute.
