Adventures in Babycrawling


Caroline is getting faster at crawling. She's not up on her hands/knees yet but her commando crawl would make a drill sargeant proud. Last night she crawled the length of the house from her room to our bedroom door, did a complete 360 and then continued into the room looking for toys (and found them too).


This morning she decided the activity ring would be far more interesting if she crawled into it from the bottom vs being lowered into it by her parents. Unfortunately, she couldn't quite get her way out of the ring and had to appeal to Dad for assistance. Bella elected not to get involved. Barkley was off eating one of her socks.

Hmm, what are those bowls for....


So Caroline was zipping around the kitchen doing the commando crawl thing when she came across something new...the dogs' bowls. Yep, you guessed it, she went exploring. Fortunately Cindy saw her with her hand in the food pile but before Caroline had a chance to dine on the Nutro Lamb and Rice meal dog food. The next day, Cindy saw her make a beeline for the dogs' water bowl located in our upstairs bathroom. Again, got to her before anything went awry. Unfortunately, she wasn't so quick Saturday morning. Caroline, it seems, has just enough strength to flip over a partially filled water bowl. The pic above is Caroline post-flip and post crawl through the puddle (she was happy to help re-create the incident). Her cute little pink outfit turned brown in an instant. Fortunately, it was time to get dressed for the day anyway...
