Baby’s First Push-Up (3/22/10)

Sophia had her first push-up today! She really wanted to reach a toy, so she positioned her arms just so and then surprised us both, she was so excited!

She really wants to get crawling, it’s so amazing to see her problem solver her way around. She almost has the rolling over down, she definitely has the strength, but when it comes to the mechanics of it, she’ll prop herself on both of her arms and wedges herself so that she can’t really roll over, she pushes against her arm and she gets stuck. It’s so cute though, and we are teaching her how to move her arm so that she can roll over. She randomly will try to lunge out of our arms – she wants to get moving for sure! When she’s doing tummy time (which she still hates) she’ll get her legs under her and push he butt way up in the air and wiggle it a little. It’s only a matter of time before she puts all of the pieces together and then she’ll be cruising around!
