Froggy flop & caterpillar crawl.


Katelynn has started movin'! She can make her way around the room, which means we have to keep the floor free of small pieces, shoes and dog toys. Of course, we can put a perimeter of baby-safe toys around her and she will make her way over them, and head straight for Carson's shoe to suck on...gross! She has not mastered the "conventional crawl". Sometimes she gets up on all fours, rocks back and forth for a bit and then lunges with her arms toward the item she wants (The Froggy Flop). She does this move in combination with the Caterpillar Crawl, in which she reaches and stretches with her arms and drags her body behind her. Basically, she looks like a bad actor in a war movie that has been shot in the leg and has to use all of her strength and endure the pain , just to drag herself to safety.
