I CAN crawl!

It's been a frustrating couple of weeks for me, but it's all better now. On Nov 17 I started to crawl, but I could only go backwards, and that's not the direction in which I wanted to go. I would see a toy I wanted, try to get to it, but end up moving farther away from it! I cried a lot about that. But the last day or two I finally figured it out. I don't even really have to concentrate that hard about it any more. I just see something I want and crawl right to it! One leg straightens out and pushes me forward, and I move my other knee in, and off I go! Mama and Papa seem to have this strange, frightened look in their eyes all of the time now...







Here are some pictures from Mama and Papa's 10th Wedding Anniversary. We spent the whole day on the Portland Spirit going up and down the Willamette and Columbia rivers. I loved every moment of it, especially yelling at the wake in the water.
