"Crawling"

She's crawling! Well, she's scooting. Ok, so she's scooting backwards, but she's basically crawling! She starts out flat on her tummy...

Then scrunches up her little body and gets on her knees...
Then she just pushes her arms out straight, so she ends up going backwards.
It's both exciting and terrifying to imagine a mobile Eleanor. I think she'll love being a little more independent, and I'm thinking I might love it to...? I know everyone says not to rush them into growing up, that it'll all go by too quickly, and that I definitely shouldn't even consider blinking, otherwise she'll just go ahead and turn into a teenager right then and there, but I'm excited for the next phase. Though, we are going to need about 6 baby gates for this house that is made almost entirely of stairs.
