Crawling!!

Addison has been well on her way to crawling since she was around 6 months old.  She could seem to get the stance correct but never wanted add the arm movement to her already mastered leg motion.  So, consequently she took a while to make forward progress.  In the meantime, she REALLY became quite a little rolling machine.  On November 20th, I think we can officially say she is now crawling.

On that day, we were going to Monty's dad's house for an early Thanksgiving celebration.  Monty had so kindly offered to go to Whataburger to get me a drink.  When he arrived home with our drinks, Addison and I were playing in our bedroom floor while I was brushing my hair (I had just gotten out of the shower).  I sat my cup on the floor near me and Addison immediately honed in on it and started toward it.  That was the first time she had ever made such fantastic forward progress.  She does love to drink out of cups even if it just water.  I guess that because drinking from a cup is something she can mirror that we do.  She still is not crawling everywhere (resorting still to rolling), but when something catches her eye, she is off in a flash.  I have no doubt in the next week or so she will realize that she can crawl anywhere and everywhere she wants.  We are so proud of yet another milestone you have hit, but must admit this is a little intimidating.  Mommy and Daddy won't be able to look away for even a second!!

October 24th following church.  We had lunch at my parent's house and Addison gave her new Baby Legs a try.  She has them in a variety of patterns and colors.  My mom and I have more fun buying things like this!
