And She's Off!

So 4 1/2 month old Claire started out with her head where that toy is on the blanket and her feet back towards the fireplace when I set her down and ended up under the coffee table a few minutes later. It's amazing what a kid can do in the amount of time it takes you to unload the dishwasher!
Melanie never did this backing up stuff, so this should be interesting!
She was a bit fussy once she realized what she had done, but then Melanie gave her the duck rattle and she was quite content under there. What a thoughtful sister she has :)
Let the mobility adventures begin!

This was my boys (especially Liam)! I remember having Issy, who I could just put on a blanket and she would just stay there and play happily, not so with Isaac and Liam. They never stayed in one place.

oh my. i think she is more mobile than max who's twice her age : ( ben, though is not as helpful as melanie. he likes to sit on max when max is on the floor.

Oh Mary, Melanie isn't always that helpful. I think that was just the case because Claire was under a piece of furniture, and therefore inaccessible in any other way. She quite often prefers to sit/lay on Claire or pile pillows and blankets on top of her. Sisterly love at it's best!
