She Crawls!

I got home from work and was talking to Jfer when I see Simone approaching me on the carpet!  Apparently she had started doing during the day...

She'd been scooting around (mostly backwards) for weeks now, and has been practicing her "down dog" position for a while, too.  Well, she finally figure out what was missing and is now officially crawling.

The technique is interesting.  She does this crab-like thing on one foot, one knee and hands, but it works quite well.  And she knows how to get to a sitting position from lying on her belly - that should reduce some frustrations.

So we're excited for her.  But now that her sphere of influence has grown, we need to get serious about keeping all small things off the floor and our eyes on Homer when she's roaming.
