she's off!

Rebecca's crawling!  I never thought she'd do it.  With all of the issues with her motor skills and not rolling and everything, I was sure she'd skip it.  But she's crawling!

She's still not a skilled crawler--she's slow and often slips down to her tummy after a few crawls.  For a few days the only thing that was motivating her enough to try it and keep going was to get over to the entertainment center and try to push buttons, but just this morning she crawled across the room over to me!

She actually beat her big sister--Rachel was 10 months when she finally started crawling, and Rebecca is only 9.  But Rachel was walking at 11 months, and Rebecca's a long way from that, I think.  She stands up and pulls up to her knees (only once all the way to her feet), but she doesn't really take steps and is pretty wobbly.  But she'll get there.  I'm just thrilled that she's finally moving and seems so normal!

So now it's time to make sure everything is babyproofed again.

Way to go, Rebecca!!
