Mae is approximately six and half months and it is mind blowing the amount that she has accomplished in such a short window of time. I say this in relation to what I have accomplished in the same amount of time. Yes, yes, I have gone through my own discoveries (learned I can't control everything, found a love that I never knew existed, have been able to let things go, etc..) but watching Mae discover her world and herself has been astounding. Everyday is a new and exciting thing and again I am remiss for not writing it all down (mother's guilt) BUT her latest skill is being able to crawl backgrounds. She doesn't do it all the time and I wouldn't say she necessarily LOVES it (I think she does it out of pure frustration) but she is on the move. I am both thrilled by this and also apprehensive. I am thrilled that she is developing and has a curiosity to want to get places. I am apprehensive because I know once it begins, gone are the days of me ever being able to sit down or putting her in one place and her staying there.
In terms of other movement:
- Mae still doesn't want to roll over. She only has gone front to back to date and has made no sign she wants to roll from back to front. I think she thinks rolling is a dog trick, not fit for babies.
- We started table foods a couple of weeks ago so we go some interesting movement down below the belly button (ick!).
- She loves to stand (has for the last month and half) and she is finally mastering the "jump" in the Johnny Jumperoo.
