Natalie has been "on the verge" of crawling for over a week now. She was getting pretty good at getting her legs going, but her hands would remain planted on the floor. It was kind of like pressing the gas when the emergency brake is still on. I guess it just took the right motivation for her to figure out the other half of the equation. And what kind of things would provide such motivation, you ask? The answer is: shiny electronics that are not meant for babies.
Yesterday while Aunt Rachel was visiting, we placed my cell phone out of her reach and there she went, surprising us all! She responded equally well to the DVD player remote control. It is an uncoordinated, clumsy crawl and it kind of reminds me of watching a wounded animal on the National Geographic channel, but I'm putting February 6th in the baby book as her official crawling date!
