Forward Progress


Hi All,
We are enjoying our first rainy weekend of the season in Santa Cruz. Indoor life isn't too bad though. Fiona is getting more mobile by the day, At the moment she sits up and jumps along on her bum which propels her forward. She also makes a little extra forward motion by bending and straightening her legs alternately while sitting up. She almost never does face plants from sitting anymore, she even caught herself mid fall this morning with her hands. She still thinks that clapping is done with your feet, It mat be a shock when she learns the rest of us use our hands.
As you can see by the photo she has a lot to keep her busy in the sun by the front door. She is content to play by herself for long periods until something is too far out of reach and requires parental assistance. Mostly, we are equally busy watching from our tasks and marvelling at how lucky we are.

Love
Louise and Devon

I think the "bum scooting" action must be genetic. Her mum did the same thing.
Being able to occupy occupy oneself for significant periods of time is a significant skill also. I don't think such people ever learn about boredom (whatever that is.)
You three are one lucky family.
