come to daddy

My arrival home last night was joyous, what made it so great was that though AG was in the living room and as soon as she heard my key in the door, she started crawling towards me along the corridor, it felt wonderful, and it was interesting to see that rather than crawling commando style, she's starting to crawl properly using her knees and so is getting even faster moving around the house, nothing is safe and I wouldn't have it any other way

crawling her way into trouble

The good news is she's started crawling.

bad news is she used her new found skill to head for anything she shouldn't, DVD's have been pulled off shelves, shoes have been licked and work passes have been munched.

Time to baby proof the house methinks

evil experiments

What good is being a dad if you can't perform a few evil experiments.

AG has been threatening to crawl for a while now but is also quite adept at calling for help, so I wondered is her not crawling linked in some way to her skill at getting us to do her bidding?

I set her done on the rug with her favourite toy (a colourful model of an atom) a couple of inches out of reach whilst I hid.

with a few grunts and stretches she managed to get the toy!

as soon as she realised I was still in the room she reverted to her normal pattern of monitoring us whilst making a range of noises to see if one them would succeed in us doing her bidding.

the experiments shall continue
