Crawling and…

Lily, you’re crawling! And you’ve just turned 6 months. After all the hard times, this is brilliant! You love getting on your hands and knees and moving across the carpet. One time you crawled all the way from the front door to the dining room to see your dada!

Here’s a video of your amazing crawling. You are just so active and interested in everything!

Recently, your mama took you to a baby sensory class at the local church hall. At one point all the lights were dimmed and the other babies were shushed to sleep in the middle on 2 inflatable mattresses. But you, Lily, decided to crawl in the dark and stroke some baby’s face instead…

You are trouble.

Sometimes you crawl and end up in difficult places now. In fact, it seems you want to explore all the corners and danger zones. When dada, me, has left for work (yeah I’ve gone back to working at school – as a phase leader now in Year 6) you tried to crawl to the door to follow me out…

Although you may be crawling you can also sit. You don’t like this as much as being active though.

You’ve been developing so well. A couple of weeks ago you went to a wedding. Your dada was best man and everyone said how well behaved you were and how cute. At the reception you ate a crumpet and when dada did his speech you made a noise of excitement. But everyone adored you.

Here’s a lovely photo of you and your beautiful mama. What a brilliant little girl you are becoming…
