CRAWL

Hannah is officially crawling. Not tummy dragging, not crawling a few paces before dropping to her belly, she is full on crawling on hands and knees. It started tonight while Andrew was on the phone with his mom, and I was trying to start a shower. She followed me from the kitchen, down the hall, into my bedroom, to the bathroom door. So fast! I picked her up, gave her a chance to pee (she did), then sent her on her way. She was so tired this evening though. Barely napped today. It seems she has only one or two big nursies during the day, the rest being distracted and either full of nipplephone or leg bucking, scratching at me, that sort of thing. at least she's going to bed earlier. She was doing BIG MOUTH today. I tried to put her down for a nap, to no avail. She wanted to sit up and play with things. Play with the pillow, the lamp, my book, bookmark, ME, anything. So I made it fun and gave up on reading and sleeping. Dangled things over her head so she'd look up with her wide open mouth, and I inspected her incoming top teeth. So far: Left middle bottom Right middle bottom Left 2nd top Left middle top I wonder if she'll lose the teeth in this same order? I seem to recall left-middle-bottom being my first lost tooth. I am amazed at how she maneuvers herself off the couch and bed. She pushes legs first, slides down, lands on her feet. Though she was particularly upset later in the day and nearly rolled herself off sideways. I wonder if it is instinctual to go feet first? I wonder how many of these things come pre-programmed. I was shocked that she came with peekaboo installed. What else? WHAT ELSE?
