Mobility Report

Its hard to keep up with the active little bee we have in our household these days!  And its just beginning!

I thought I would give a mobility report.....

Crawling:

Amelia loves to crawl and is expanding her crawling reach every day.  She isn't afraid of the dark, so she is more than willing to crawl into dark rooms!  She also insists on huffing, puffing and vrooming herself along as she crawls - especially if she is crawling towards me.  It really is quite cute.  She also does a variation of her crawl when she is on hard floors....she will keep one knee on the ground and use her foot on the other leg. 

Standing:

Amelia stands, goes up and down often, bounces, but does not like to fall down, so she feels more comfortable holding onto something instead of standing by herself.  She is getting better at standing for long stretches by herself, but she hasn't quite mastered it yet.

Walking:

Amelia will cruise along furniture and has recently found the joy of walking while holding onto our hands.  She is still pretty wobbly, so I think she's got a bit of time yet before she walks by herself.

Stairs:

As mentioned in an earlier post, Amelia has gone up the stairs from the basement.  She doesn't know how to go downstairs yet, but evidently going into the basement is not nearly enticing!  I think she will have to learn from going down the loft stairs.....something about the main level draws her like a magnet....maybe those furry things....

She is quite the busy bee, even without walking - I can't imagine what it will be like when she walks!  We will be chasing her all over!
