Time To Childproof The House

It finally happened.  Just 1 week shy of 7 months and she’s crawling.

It all started on a warm summer night.  The Bar-B-Que was lit, warming for a delicious creation.  The sun was setting.  Everything was right for a perfect evening.  And then it happened… Zoe crawled.  Jason was on the floor playing with her when she popped up and made a frantic lunge forward.  She’d done this before, but when she began to move her arms and legs in sync things got interesting.  He backed up quickly to give her room to move.  As she put together 3 or 4 “steps” we looked at each other and asked “Did you see that?” which was quickly followed by “Grab the camera!”.  A perfect evening just got better.

From there it’s been great.  She’s really figured out how to scoot around quite well.

Here’s a bit of her figuring it out.

Zoe Forgets To Crawl First

We tried telling her that for centuries people have crawled before walking but she wasn’t hearing us.  I guess we should get used to that.
