Since Mae started belly crawling about three weeks ago we have seen a lot more movement. She has yet to master crawling on all fours, especially since doing it on hardwoods is more difficult (our downstairs is all hardwoods), but she is definitely working on it. She can also go from sitting to crawling and she can go from sitting to sorta of standing (if you are sitting right next to her, she will pull herself up on you). And the other day she tried to pull herself up on the chair in her nursery but I stopped her because I am not really ready for that yet. It is enthralling to watch her try to work her body in a position and to successfully complete it. It is also difficult to watch her fail (ie, falling on her face) but I know failing is part of the process of learning. I love watching Mae's curiosity for movement and her various attempts at it, it is better than watching the best of any TV show, sporting event, play, concert or movie (combined!)
