Maggie on the Move

No, she's not quite crawling... yet. She's pushing herself backwards and rocking herself forwards from sitting to tummy. She can lift her belly up now, but when she starts to try to move she ends up belly down and kicking.  She can scoot around the house (mostly backwards) on her belly.  We think it's officially called "creeping."

The other day, Ali set Maggie down in the middle of the rug (seated on her bum) and went to the bathroom.  When she came back, the baby was halfway across the room on her belly wedged under a drop-leaf table and grinning in a very proud manner.  She then lifted her arms to be picked up and said "gee-gee-gee."  She was looking for the dog ("doggie").

Our plan for the weekend is to start the baby-proofing process.

From sitting...

 

To the "tripod..."

   

 To the "set" position...

 

And when she "goes", it mostly ends here.  :)

So, to review.

 Sittin' pretty.

On the move.

 

Come to a rest.
