Lily's First Day of Crawling

Lily spent the whole of her sixth month threatening to crawl; she'd get up on all fours, rock back and forth, then, just as it looked like she was about to get to the crawling, she'd flop on her belly and kick her feet in glee. Cute, yes. Crawling, no. She really didn't need to crawl as she was able to get where ever she wanted to without that form of locomotion. Last Thursday she started doing this funny half-crawl, crawling with one side of her body and dragging the other limbs along for the ride. Sunday came the first motions that could actually be called crawling, and Monday, as I made breakfast, I heard a funny slurping sound. I turned around to find Lily slurping water from the dog's dish. Classic. After I took the dog bowl away from her, she made her way over to the Tupperware drawer and opened it promptly. Just like her mommy, apparently.
