All morning I have been trying to snap a picture of Melita on all fours in preparation to take off and crawl. But this kid is too quick for me. On Thursday, she got up on all fours for the first time and started rocking and she has kept doing it since. She has the rocking part down, she just hasn't gotten to the part where she moves her arms and legs FORWARD to get somewhere. Usually after rocking for a bit she either collapses and takes a quick snooze or she pushes herself backward and away from the object she was trying to get to. I will admit that we are trying to encourage her by spreading things of desire (toys, cell phones, TV remote) out in front of her, but so far it hasn't worked. It usually just makes her frustrated.
When she wasn't trying to crawl, she spent her morning sucking on a wet paper towel. WTF? I got the wet paper towel to clean off her face after her breakfast and she ended up grabbing hold and sucking the water out. She had previously discovered the endless hours of joy with crumbling dry paper, but never had she been interested in wet paper. We periodically re-wet the towel and she continued to loudly suck the water out. Has anyone else experienced this? She never tried to bite or chew the paper towel, she just sucked.
