[31 weeks] Crawling backwards

Lara has been having lots of "tummy time" as shown above and she is a lot "mobile" now. She can turn lying on her back. Many a time I left her lying on her play mat for a couple of minutes, her head facing a certain way. When I came back to her, her head would be facing a totally different direction.

And she crawled backwards on the weekend! Well, all right, it's more of a squirm rather than a real crawl but it made me very happy! I put her on the top of the mat with forbidden toys like remote control, camera just out of reach to lure her forward, but she pushed herself backwards instead and ended up at the bottom of the mat! She did it really quickly too, for a 7-months old that is. There were lots of knee bending actions going on. Husband thinks she'll be crawling in the right direction very very soon!

She does this (see below) a lot too, lying flat on her tummy as if to say "Do I have to do this now? Let me rest"


But then she gets up and do more "tummy time", Good girl.
