Crawling, Take 2

Carly performed her army crawl again this afternoon. This morning I had the same toys out from last night, hoping it would spark her memory of crawling and allow me to catch a better video. Unfortunately, this was not the case. After her lunch we tried again. She continued to seem uninterested in crawling for the book, shaker, and duck toy I had out, so I pulled out her balls, wobblie toys, and a butterfly bath toy. Well, that did the trick. She saw me pull these out and got into motion. She was in the center of her quilt and took off to where I was. So being the mean and desperate mom for a video; I let her reach the toys, play with them for a minute, then scooped them up and put them on the far other end of her quilt. While she spun herself around I got the camera ready, and here she went:

We have a Crawler!!

Tonight Carly crawled for the first time! She had been quite frustrated with herself and fussy, so I felt like it was only a matter of time. And then, it happened. She was getting tired of the blocks she was playing with so I rolled her a crystal light container that I had filled with Cheerios and taped shut (instant shaker for music time). Unfortunately, my roll wasn't 100% successful. So, Carly picked her legs up, pushed forward while sliding back to her belly, and then repeated. I was able to catch a video of the tail end of her first crawling journey. Hopefully I will be able to catch more tomorrow.


She only crawls at the very beginning and actually began on the edge of the quilt, the rest is just me waiting and hoping to catch more. (Will edit later.)
