For a while now, Catherine has been this close to crawling. She'll bend down on her hands, reach really far out, and rock back and forth. She's showing all the signs, and I'm sure it's going to be any day now, but right now, it's not quite happening. Crawling, like any other skill really, isn't something that just happens- boom, poof, she's off! It's something that slowly evolves, after countless tiny steps, a million little pieces building upon one another to establish understanding and mastery. It's happening, right in front of our very own eyes, but it's such a slow process, it's hard to see. But I think it's important to step back and admire what's happening, champion those little pieces fitting together, and be awe-struck at how amazing it is that babies somehow, someway, figure it all out. They know what to do, they just do. It's pretty awesome, when you think about it. So instead of worrying, and waiting, and wondering, "when will she?", I'm going to think, "Wow! She's doing it! She knows! She's putting it all together!" Because she is- amazing!
