Yesterday, Rose 0.9 crawled for the first time! For the last month, we've been telling people, "she's about to crawl. She is sooo close!" For the last week, I've seen her periodically getting in the correct position, up on hands and knees, but then after a few seconds of seeming like she wasn't sure what happens next, she would collapse. Then for the last couple of days, she would find that position and rock forward and back just the tiniest bit.
We were at ballet yesterday, waiting while May danced. Another sibling of a dancer was running a fancy white toy car around and Rose wanted it. So, she pushed herself up and with 4 cheering moms watching, crawled about a foot and a half. One mother, who was more prepared than I, dove into her purse and grabbed a digital camera. She said she thought she'd caught a little bit of it and will hopefully email it to me.
By the end of last night, Rose was going a few feet here and there, still looking shaky and uncertain and slow, but accomplishing the task anyway. By the weekend, I bet she'll look as if she's been crawling for months (if she isn't pulling up or cruising!).
