On Her Way

Cosette is getting close to crawling! She's up high on her hands and getting her knees under her. So far she can only back up, but she's so adorable and I'm not ready to have a mobile baby! She's only 6 months. Jack didn't crawl until 8 months. Either way it's a short time away.

Going after toys 

Got it!

 Backing under the couch

 Get those knees working!

 She seriously plays it up for the camera. She stops what she's doing to smile and pose.

 A little rolling fun.

 Brother jumps in there to "help"

 I don't know why they're wearing snow-flake and polar bear PJs in mid-July.

 He likes to press his forehead firmly into her face. It is very hard to rid him of this habit, we've tried.

 "If I push her head, she tips over."

 Not gentle.

And then the wrestling begins...

 She's a tough lady

 Trying to escape

 No concept of personal space

 Pinned! My sister and I used to do what was called "midget wrestling" for the enjoyment of our older cheering cousins. It has already started with these two.

 Matching her pose

 She's very tolerant of getting pushed around, as demonstrated by the fact that she's not crying in any of these pictures.

 We secretly call this "riding Baby like a dino" because he has tiny play dinosaurs that he tries to ride in this way. I'm constantly saying "get off of Baby!" She usually doesn't mind too much until she's feeling very squished. He thinks he's being sneaky.

 Face to face, sharing secrets

 The brother-sister play has only just begun!
