The first page of the 5 month section in her first year book. Journaling reads: " At 5 months old you are just starting to try to crawl - I call it the face scoot. You get on hands and knees and rock, move one knee forward, move the other forward, and get stuck! Eventually you just try to lead with your head and you faceplant, Then you push with your knees to move a few inches, only to do it all again. NOT the most effective way to get around, but hey.
You are such a determined baby! You get better and better every day, and *almost* get it at Christmas while showing off for your fan club. By 5.5 months you are a fully mobile girl on a mission! It’s like it just “clicked” for you one afternoon after playgroup.
The same day you started crawling, you pushed yourself up into the sitting position for the first time. I thought it was a fluke even though you did it twice. Your mimi knew better and told me that crawling, sitting up, and pulling up all happen at light speed. She was right! You were pulling up two days later!
