Crawling

Nicole has gotten really good at crawling—backwards. She can’t seem to figure out how to go forwards. I’ll put her down on a blanket with toys while I clean up after lunch and when I come back she’s backed herself in a corner and can’t get out. The worst is when she’s trying to get a toy that’s just out of reach. She starts crawling backwards and crying because she keeps getting farther and farther away. Although she still hasn’t figured out forwards, she’ll step with her arms forward out of sitting position and step each hand forward once before going backwards the rest of the way.

    haha I’ll trade you–Erik is into everything–it’s driving me crazy! i’d love it if he’d back himself into a corner sometime instead of pulling down my plants, destroying a book the kids left out, or eating every cord in sight lol. Nicole will figure it out soon tho :) poor little gal–that is such a sad picture.

  • She can get just about anywhere because she knows how to turn around, but she just can’t get to where she’s aiming to go. I have to admit that it makes me chuckle sometimes. Nicole also fancies cords, unfortunately.

  • look at her face! Kath, it’s torture!
