Crawling

I went away for the weekend, and came back to find that G had started crawling. Well, when I say crawling, she's able to shuffle forward on all fours for a bit before flopping down onto her tummy again. It's close enough though. No doubt she'll be scuttling about with alarming speed before much longer.

Mrs J made some suitable changes to the house while I was away. G's playpen is now in the middle of the living room with all her toys in, so I imagine she'll be spending a lot of time in there to prevent her crawling all over the house causing chaos.

Crawling might also help G lose some of the comedy pot belly she's developed over the last few months. She was a big baby to begin with and has had a healthy appetite ever since, always finishing her bottles and rarely turning down food. It's not exactly time for a baby diet, but some exercise will probably do her good.
