A Milestone for Kate!

Our anticipation has finally been met!! Kate decided to put it all together this morning and crawl in several consecutive motions. For months she's been rolling around and lifting her hands and knees, but today for the first time she used all of her skills in coordination to crawl from point A to point B!!

A big thank you goes out to Papa Joe for the crawling training regime that he and Kate endured when we were recently in Wisconsin - all of that hard work and training has finally come to fruition!! Here's a video of some of the highlights from today:



The only disconcerting part is that the "toy" Kate wanted to crawl to was the TV remote!! She has been practicing her new skill all day and we're realizing how much baby-proofing needs to be done around here and how much busier our lives just became.

Kate is SOOO CUTE! I am both astonished at how well she has perfected the roll over mode of transportation as well as the crawling.
She is TOOO CUTE!!! Thanks for sharing the video.
YAY for Kate!

Crawling and then walking is such a double-edged sword! It's so exciting and you're so happy they're doing it, and then you start to see how crazy everything becomes and how much more trouble they get into now! Yikes!

But congrats none the less, Kate! Woo hoo for the accomplishment!

Wish we could have seen you all last week. We'll be coming out again soon, I'm sure :)

PS. I am so very very jealous of your hair. So beautiful!!!
