Crawling and Standing and More, oh my!

Exactly two weeks ago today, March 26, to be exact, Grace started crawling while we were video chatting with Gramps and Nana. Ok, technically, Caleb was talking with them while I was halfway working on dinner. She started scooching forward, reaching with her arms and dragging her little body behind, and in a few more minutes she was up on all fours doing a real baby crawl!

And just over a week later, she pulled herself up to stand for the very first time. My mom was here visiting and Caleb was working from home as our car was in the shop, so she had quite the cheering audience for her subsequent performances. We're most proud of our little Gracie, but realizing we've got our work cut out for us over the next couple months!

One of her favorite challenges now is trying to pull herself up on the rocking ottoman that goes with the glider in the nursery. She's pretty good at keeping her balance as it rocks back and forth, but a few times it's caught her off guard and down she goes. She's a brave little girl though, and gets right back up to try again!
