Crawling Carly

Carly is Crawling. Everywhere. She actually became more mobile around 9 months, but at that time she only slithered along the floor. Justin described her as one of those half dead zombies who dragged their body behind them. Yes, I can see how that would give you a good visual, but technically it's called classic army crawling.

I'm not a fan of the slithering because she sweeps the floor better than our broom which means she's filthy when you are ready to leave the house. A couple of nights ago, it just clicked. She picked up her legs and started crawling on her knees.

We clapped and cheered when she came around the corner. She loved it and seemed thrilled by her accomplishment. Not long after the knee crawling she impressed us again by quickly pulling herself up on the train table. This trick is now one of her favorites.

Carly moved into the crawler's class at school on the day she turned 10 months old. She looks like a novice compared to the other children, but I have no doubt she'll be taking her first steps in the next couple of months.
