Trying To Crawl

Our sweet baby girl has been trying to crawl for so long but it just isn't happening for her.  She mostly just goes backwards.  She gets so frustrated yet she tries it over and over again every time you set her on the ground.  I captured her process one day and it is pretty funny.


She starts out happy in the correct crawling stance.  Look at her she's so full of hope.


Oh but then she feels the need to do a push up on her tippy toes.  Try doing that yourself.  It's not as easy as it looks.


But wait, now she is really showing off!


She is worn out and needs to take a quick rest.  


Finally she has moved but alas, it's backwards!  If you take a look at the pictures above she has moved between the ottoman and couch.  She doesn't look impressed anymore does she.  She may look like her daddy but that is a face she learned from her mother.  No doubt about it.

I was sooo hoping she'd get to wear those overalls! Her face in the last picture is priceless. Thanks for posting - maybe it'll inspire me to get Christmas pictures up.
