Steve and I put Katherine on the carpet yesterday with her “Oh the Places You Will Go” book slightly out of reach. As usual, Steve helped her move forward by putting his hands behind her feet. She would push off frog style and inch forward. For the first time though, when Steve wasn’t helping, she arched her back upwards, raised her shoulder and pulled her body forward. We were astonished and stared at her for a few minutes while she dragged herself across the carpet towards her book. At that point, Steve ran to get the digital camcorder and we recorded the event on film. We mentioned this to Patty this morning, and Katherine and Patty spent the day practicing crawling on carpet and hardwoods. How exciting! Our little baby is growing up…
