Crawling... and trying to Walk!

Emma is getting stronger by leaps and bounds! At the beginning of April, she started to crawl. She seems to do it only if she has to (she much prefers trying to walk), and it's funny because after she crawls a few paces, if she's anywhere near the object she wants, she simply stops and makes a dive for it!


She also started pulling herself up to a standing position, and she can stand on her own and balance - not holding on to anything! - for about 30 seconds at a stretch. She surprised the heck out of us when she did that! She also has the foot motions down pat and can walk all the way across the room if someone holds her hands. She hasn't ventured any steps yet on her own, but we think it won't be long before she tries.
