Look out world! Bethany can crawl! That’s right, folks. She’s mobile.

She’d been able to roll in both directions and sit up on her own for a few weeks. She could even spin herself end for end during tummy time. Then all of a sudden, she managed to scoot backwards. It wasn’t quite intentional. Not only did it move her away from the toy she was trying to reach, but it put her in an awkward position.

But one day, all of that changed. I wish I could say that Bethany crawled to me first because she loves her mommy so much, but it just wasn’t the case. She didn’t crawl toward her daddy, either. She did, however, crawl to the dog’s ball, grab it and promptly put it in her mouth before her flabbergasted mother could stop her. After I hid the ball and slathered her with kisses for crawling, she tried again. The new object of Bethany’s attention was the dog’s rawhide bone. That time I was ready and foiled her plan. The third attempt was for the dog himself. Sorry, Foster. Little girls love puppies.

Needless to say, I didn’t catch video of the first crawl. But I did take some the next day. Enjoy!
