crib acrobatics

Rosie is on the move.

We always lay her in the crib tummy-side down in the top-center of the crib. Yes, babies are supposed to sleep on their backs, but only till they are proficient rollers. Rosie can roll both ways easily, so we save her the trouble and put her on her tummy. ANYWAY, I sure wish I had a camera in her room because sometimes we go in there and she's in a completely different spot - and we're talking from the top of the crib to the very bottom. This amazing to us because we are still hanging on to the mentality that our baby is completely immobile.

How is she doing this? Well, Rosie has a NEW SKILL! This morning we witnessed the Seal Move, where she straightens out her arms underneath her while on her tummy and uses them to creep from side to side. The theory is that this is how she is maneuvering throuhgout the crib. I'm wondering if she has the skills to move forward and we just haven't seen it yet. Need to get that closed caption television installed in her room.

She is so close to crawling.... but she's only 4 and a half months old! But, let's not forget she's Superbaby, after all, look where she was when she was 3 weeks old:


We decided that when most kids start preschool, Rosie will be winning the strongest man competition. Yes, man.
