Crawling Practice on the Living Room Floor

Didn't go anywhere today. Stayed in with the little one, who spent most of the afternoon working on crawling across the living room carpet — arms out wide, pushing off with the knees, then flattening out and starting over. Not fast yet, but determined.

The cat came over to supervise for a while and sat right next to the baby, ignoring the stuffed duck on the floor between them. The two of them side by side, the cat looking down at nothing in particular and the baby grinning at me like the whole thing was a game.

The striped onesie made it through the whole day, somehow. Hair is getting long enough now that it curls over on top.
