Though she's not a pro yet, Madeleine has finally gotten the hang of the traditional crawl, rather than the army crawl/body drag thing she has been doing for the past month or so:
And Julia is perfecting her moves as well; many of you know that her favorite activity in our house is galloping back and forth between the kitchen and the living room, an activity which has come to be known as "gallop time" (dubbed so by Julia's Auntie Shannon.) Sometimes she switches things up and she'll walk, skip, or run, but regardless of the type of motion, she loves to go back and forth for what seems like an endless amount of time. I can't help but wonder what the neighbor below our condo unit thinks of the elephantine thumping constantly going on above his head.
