Crawling!

For the last few months pretty much the only thing Emmy does is sit. The first thing she does when you put her on her tummy is push herself back to sitting. She is a professional sitter. Finally this week she has started to go on her hands and knees. I think that is in part due to Pillar at daycare spending an entire morning trying to teach her to crawl! Okay, I have to admit I have been a terrible mom. I have not encouraged the crawling at all. Without even realizing it I sit her on the floor and surround her with all the toys in the world so she has no reason to move. Plus, selfishly I love my professional sitter, I leave the room and when I come back she is still there :) Well, I decided since I know they are teaching her at daycare to crawl, I wanted to be the first to witness it. So, I piled up a few of her favorite forbidden toys, my laptop, the remote AND my cell phone. If that didn't get her going, I don't know what would. As expected, worked like a charm :) She sure does make it hard on herself by trying to crawl by using her feet instead of her knees!
