Wait...come back here...

It didn't last long. We waited almost 2 years for Bryce to start walking. Less than 12 months later, Ivy is on the move. She's thought about crawling since December. She had this sort of inch worm action working where she could slinky her way to get something if she really wanted to, but in the last 2 weeks or so she's figured it out. This brings about this interesting dilemma that I'm sure all parents face. Since December we've been encouraging the crawling..."c'mon, Ives...you can do it"..."here you go...c'mon"...you get the idea. Within the last 2 weeks those chants of encouragement have turned into..."wait, come back here" and "Ivy, where are you?". I'm not sure what we expected. Certainly we wanted her to crawl, just as we wanted Bryce to walk...I just don't think we wanted her to go anywhere! Perhaps a baby treadmill where she could crawl in place would be the solution...that way everyone wins. Either way...here she is getting her crawl on. Gotta go...she left again.
