I've also posted some videos (so you email readers will have to go the actual blog to see them) of her crazy crawl. She started scooching on her belly in July. She would drag her left leg behind her while doing most of the work on her right side. Had she been a preemie, I'm sure she would have qualified for some PT to "strengthen" her left side! :) You can also see her enthusiasm for her paci (named Rufus) in this video...
She advanced to getting up off her belly in late August (after our week at the beach watching one baby walk and another crawl on all fours), but she still drags her left side behind her; she's just moved everything up a level. So she bear crawls with her foot on the right side and uses her knee on the left. If she is not right handed, we will be shocked.
In other news and notes, she got her first tooth at 10 months and 10 days. It's still only a half a tooth really, so we have not been able to capture it on film (on memory stick?), but it's there and it's very cute!
She's also saying lots of Dadadadas. We got Daaahg for Chloe, and Daddy gets an excited Dada! most mornings. She will whisper her Ps sometimes and we get an occasional B. She is also high fiv-ing when asked and throwing her arms up when we say "hooray!", and she will wave bye-bye, sometimes even before you're too far away to see her do it.
