Desire = Development

In Quincy, MA on Saturday, our friend put Belle's pacifier just out of her reach on the blanket Belle was lying on belly down.  She grunted and reached and lifted her butt as if to then push off to propel herself to her beloved pacifier.  All of her efforts resulted in a belly scootch forward a bit.  She didn't quite reach the pacifier, but the movements looked like the precursor to a crawl.  And this grand step towards crawling was inspired by Belle's desire to be reunited with her pacifier.
