Houston, we have a crawler!

Nora has been getting around pretty well for a few weeks now. She'd kinda scoot backwards, sit up, twist, and scoot some more and get where she wanted to go. She was sort of crawling backwards too, but not using her legs, just shoving herself backwards with her hands. About a week ago she would get on her hands and knees and rock. I predicted she'd crawl before Christmas. I was right.

Yesterday she was trying to get Steve's shoes. Nora loves shoes and slippers. Apparently they're just the right size to plant on the floor between her legs and gnaw on them. (Still no teeth.) I glanced over in time to see her moving her hands forward and then her knees. And then she did it again! Steve saw it too. She's only done it once or twice since then, so I don't think she realizes she's figured out a better way to get around, but she did it. This will make Christmas MUCH more interesting. :)
