At seven and a half months, Baby ABC is almost crawling.
She is expert at reaching for things while sitting and then pushing herself back to sitting after she has grabbed whatever she wanted. She rocks on her tummy like a little boat. She grabs at things with her hands and pulls herself along the floor.
Her newest trick is to tuck one knee under her while sitting with the other still flat on the floor for balance, which extends her reach and is the closest to crawling yet.
I think we had better do some serious babyproofing this weekend. It won’t be long now…

It’s fascinating how babies figure stuff out in their own ways.
