Montgomery is also “dangerously” close to crawling. She can now get her body up on her hands and knees, and she can even press up on her hands and feet (no knees) but from there she’s not quite sure what to do. She rocks back and forth, and sometimes puts her head on the ground to brace herself, as if her head is a 5th appendage. If she were in yoga class it might be considered a pretty good “downward dog”. Yesterday I watched her as she managed to get up on her hands and knees and then sit there for a bit while she contemplated her next move. She then managed to pull her knees up under her. From there, she leaned over to her left and put her weight mostly on her left leg and her knee – somewhat sitting on that leg. She extended her right leg and gave a good solid push and she propelled herself forward about two inches! Hallelujah! We’re crawling! The whole process took about five minutes and she was completely exhausted, so she gave up after that. We’ll try again tomorrow. She can also push herself in reverse with her arms, which means we can’t leave her on the bed surrounded by pillows anymore! She can push enough to push the pillows off the bed.
On Saturday we went to the Houston Arboretum Halloween festival, which was lots of fun. We walked around for a little bit and checked out all the cool events. I will post photos from that soon. On Sunday morning we went to the grocery store and she sat in the front of the cart for the first time (as opposed to being in her car seat placed on top of the front of the cart). The grocery store is apparently filled with many exciting sights and sounds if you are six months old!!
