Cusp of crawling.

Rose is on the cusp of crawling; she will soon discover independence. For the last week she has graduated from reaching forward on her bum, accompanied by very unlady-like grunts, to reaching forward, lifting up her bum and falling onto her tummy. She is, unfortunately, unable to sit herself back up, so ends up in a beached whale pose on her back until someone can sit her back up. It is only a matter of time before she figures out what her legs are for and is away. I'm excited about that moment. Yes, it is going to be more work following a moving baby than sitting with a stationary baby, but I can watch her as she explores the house and goes where her little mind wants her to go. She is becoming her own little person and I love watching it happen in front of me.
