Baby skill unlocked: Crawling!

My wife really wanted it to happen during the long weekend so she'd be there to see it. She got her wish, and I got lucky: I had my phone with me yesterday when it happened.

It took babygirl a few weeks to figure out the process—a recent visit to Canmore for some lessons from her year-old mentor, James, likely spurred her along—but now that she's got it, she's already getting faster and more confident. Time to get some baby gates.

Sure, a baby learning to crawl is a commonplace occurrence in this world. But the feeling you get when you watch this little person you've created beginning to understand, to learn, is a swell of pride so overwhelming you have to be careful you don't squeeze her too hard when you hug her.

Upon further review, the play has been overturned. She was coached with the baby toy! Foul!
