Cwalin is Hawd

Today Elle informed me "sometimes cwalin is hawd to do."  

Enter Caroline.  Caroline is now 10 1/2 months old.  She is a remarkably happy child (this coming from a mom whose only other child had reflux for 11 months, colic for 4, had to wear a horrible evil harness for 3 months at 20 hours a day... I may have a skewed version of "happy").  I will say that Caroline has cut 4 teeth and we had no idea they were coming.  She really is a pretty chill baby.  Well, that is until recently.  She has suddenly gotten her grumpy.bear on.  We believe this to be on account of not being able to figure out how to crawl.

Gerber baby can spin and turn and push up.  But when she tries to get anywhere,

she does the superman.  She looks like a turtle caught on its backside trying to flip over.  She has spent hours like this... arms and legs thrashing at the same time, hoping that their momentum may propel her forward.  

 

Elle loves to get down and show her the appropriate means to crawl...

... to no avail.  

She typically gives up trying and rolls to her desired destination. 

I had to include this picture for the sake of baby bed head.  Poor child wakes up in the dark every morning until I can pin her hair back.  It is hilarious!
