In the past two days, Madeline has figured out how to go from laying flat on her tummy to getting herself back up to a sitting position. She has also been rocking forward onto her hands and knees, but then she flops herself back to sitting. That is, until last night. I was sitting on the floor playing with her when I noticed she had a little something in her ear. I grabbed a Q-tip to get it out, but I was lazy and didn't get up to immediately put it in the trash. Apparently, Miss Madeline decided that she really wanted to check out that Q-tip, so she rocked forward onto her knees and took off crawling for it. I couldn't believe it!
For the next 45 minutes, we put the Q-Tip on the other side of her room, and she would crawl over to get it. When we replaced the Q-Tip with a toy, she had no interest in crawling. Here's another short video of her going a longer distance.
I got out the calendar of my first year that my mom made, and I was just over 8 months and 1 week old when I crawled for the first time, which is exactly the same age as Madeline. She's taking after her mommy already.
