Today Ava started crawling. The past week she has been practicing, but not quite getting the hang of it. She was able to move her hands well, but her knees wouldn't go any where and she would fall to her belly. Yesterday Ava moved her knees a little, so we thought in a few more days maybe she would move a couple of feet. To our surprise she did it today.
After church we were playing on the ground and all of the sudden she took off for one of her toys. Ava went a couple of feet slowly, but within a few minutes she was crawling around the room quickly. She would crawl to get to toys, Luca's toys, and to cause destruction. We spent the rest of the day amazed at her rapid improvement and concerned about all the possible lurking dangers.
We are excited Ava is now a little more mobile and independent, but also fearful of the madness that will follow. She already likes to cause destruction and now she can cause it in more areas of the house. Ava is also starting to display a strong will and some stubbornness. She can throw a pretty good fit already and is angry when I pull her away from objects she just crawled to...Oh, what happened to my beautiful blob that couldn't get around and didn't kick me when frustrated? I still love my Ava and to tell the truth I love her even more for her feisty ways.

Yeah, Ava! I bet she's a lot happier now that she can get to things herself. I'm sure you're not going to be as happy about all of the things she can get to though.
Now that she's crawling she's on her way to losing her cute little baby chub.
I am so jealous. Ezra can pull himself around like an inchworm but still no real crawling. The only thing he ever wants to practice is walking. He is obsessed with walking. He needs Ava to show him how to get around.
She is getting so big, crawling already, how fun!
