Army Crawl

As I'm sure I have said before, Zoey can sit up alone.  In fact, she has mastered the skill. And I'm sure you knew that she could roll from her belly to back, but I bet you didn't know about her new found abilities.  Yesterday she surprised us by turning over to her belly when she saw a toy sitting close by. No problem, just pop on over! The next thing we know, she starts scooting along to another toy. I have been trying to help her crawl for the last couple of weeks. She can sit there on all fours now easy, but hasn't quite figured out how to switch her weight and balance on one arm at a time. It's only a matter of time. I would guess a short amount of time. But this is different, she gets around like a mini soldier army crawler. I'm so impressed! Now I know what it's like to be a proud parent. I want to show her off to everyone around even though I know they're not particularly impressed. After all, don't all babies crawl? Either way, my eyes are opened to all the danger around. The floor used to be a safe place. But yesterday when I laid her on the rug in my bathroom for 1 minute, she bonked her head trying to roll too close to the toilet. I guess the baby proofing must begin.
