Monkeying around

Monkeying around

Kathleen is on the move! Well, not on the move so much as on the scoot. She likes to scoot around, especially when she's on her back. When I went in to pick her up from her nap this afternoon I discovered she had pushed herself up into the corner of the crib, even though she was in the middle when she was put down. Thank goodness for the crib's bumpers! Kathleen scoots around under her play gym, too. And she discovered that if she scoots to the edge of it and kicks the bars hard enough, she can topple the whole thing right over!

Kathleen isn't as fond of lying on her stomach. She knows how to roll from her stomach to her back, so generally if you lay her on her belly, she'll just roll over to her back. And then she'll suck her toes. She won't roll from her back, because she's so happy sucking her toes. Since she loves her monkey, we use it as an incentive sometimes. If she's on her stomach, she'll scoot forward a tiny bit to grab the monkey, and then roll over to her back to play with him.
