Pre-crawling

Belle is on the verge of crawling, though she really prefers walking. "Walking?!" you say? Yes- she enjoys standing up holding Mom or Dad's hands and then sort of lifting one foot and putting it down then lifting the other and putting it down.

But, back to crawling, Belle can get herself onto her hands and knees (crawling position) from a sitting position and from a lying-on-her-belly position. Then, she sort of pushes herself backwards. She sometimes gets frustrated (though it's really cute to watch) when she sees an object she wants but her efforts to move make her further away from the object as she pushes herself backwards instead of pulling herself forwards. She'll get there, though, and become mobile.

In the meantime, she is splashing in the bathtub and eating lots of different foods, and she's still waving and smiling and laughing.
