Wow, it is amazing how things change! Just last weekend Trish and I had decided that Madelyn was going to be a slow crawler. Over the last few weeks we have been working on putting her on her hands and knees and I have been doing a little crawling boot camp with her :). After she showed virtually no interest and made absolutely no progress, we started to wonder if she would be crawling by Christmas.
Last week the babysitter and her family were sick and over the weekend Madelyn came down with it. Monday night Grandma and Grandpa came to take care of Madelyn while she wasn't feeling good. On Tuesday Mary and Randy came over for dinner. Apparently Madelyn's jellyfish was in front of her and she did a breaststroke move and propelled herself forward to get it. The next day we went to Mary and Randy's house and I was playing peek-a-boo with her from about 2 feet away. To my surprise she actually made it far enough to pull the blanket off my face. Wednesday and Thursday she really started army crawling and by the time my parents left today she had progressed enough to be able to army crawl anywhere to get what she wanted. The phone, remote, camera and tube of Desitin seem to be very popular. The babysitter said she was all over today at her house as well. I don't know what Grandma and Grandpa did while we were at work, but it was amazing how quickly Madelyn picked up this new skill. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for everything, we had a great time and really loved all the meals!!!
