Crawling note

Amorie's new found freedom has brought her immense happiness. As she peers over the living room landscape, her face lights up when she spots something she wants. And a grin appears as she tracks her prey and snags it.

Yep, the whining has diminished since she began to crawl. She doesn't have to ask for things anymore. She can go get it herself. Except real food. There's the occasional piece of paper on the floor though to munch on. Interestingly, she doesn't go after her toys. She seeks out everything else.

The object she most desires is forbidden fruit, the TV remote. We enjoy placing it well out of her reach and letting her crawl all the way to it, then we move it back where she just came from. We let her go back and forth for a while. She plays right along. These are the games you devise when you have no life beyond hers. Good times.
