So Maddie was slow to crawl. Reeeeeeeal slow. She is a typical first child in that she is in no rush or competition with anyone. She'll do it when she wants to, thank you very much and would appreciate the patience of the adults around her who incessantly read about her ever-growing development. There was also the "leg thing". When she had an antibiotic injection with her Pneumonia, they apparently went too deep in the muscle and caused trauma to her thigh which would hurt when bent. So no weight-bearing, no crawling for quite some time. Then there was the Army Crawl phase. No white shirts. Ever. Unless of course you are in the mood to constantly do laundry as the dirty floor ends up all over her torso as she is pulling her little body around like a soldier navigating the trenches. She was good too. Now, FINALLY, she is big girl crawling. All over the place...specifically in the direction of all the places she is not allowed to go, IE: the dogbowl. She is also pulling up on everything. Where I could leave her in a room for a few minutes before I cannot divert my eyes from her for mere seconds anymore! Baby gates, outlet plugs and (hopefully minor) boo-boos are here to stay!
