Well, it seemed like she was getting close these past few weeks and her teachers at school kept telling me "any day, any day" but finally Dagny is crawling!! It's a little disjointed and she doesn't do it immediately upon being plopped on the floor, thank goodness, but there is forward progress at long last :) Stuck at home on a snow day with two kids proved to be quite productive afterall!
Finley's in for a rude awakening now that she can move around, grab, crush, and destroy things he's playing with or building. I suspect it'll be a rocky couple of weeks as we all adjust to this new dynamic! After I taped this video, we went downstairs to play and I put Dagny down surrounded by a pile of baby toys and then Finley and I went across the room to play with not-so-baby-friendly figures and before I knew it, she'd crawled about four feet AND pulled herself up to reach into the bucket of balls and sports equipment!
I called her name and she looked over quite innocently as if she'd been able to do gross motor tricks like this for ages!
Crawling and pulling up in one week? Maybe she'll skip saying her first word and wait until she can put together an entire monologue! Mazel tov little Dagny, you are well on your way from being a baby to being a toddler and we couldn't be more thrilled about that!! Just don't practice your new skill set in your crib at night...
