Figuring things out

Hannah doesn't crawl - yet. She attempts to, but it's very uncoordinated. She pushes off with her "powerful" hind legs, scoots forward, her butt high up in the air, but her "average" arms will be pinned under her (by her weight), pressing her face into the ground. Then she vocally objects to the uncomfortable position. She'll push up with her arms, end up in a sideways pike position, and rolling over or something. The coordination will come I suppose. Last night, we (as her parents) were discussing her "attempts at crawl-like movements" and decided that her massive weight is impeding her. She's too heavy for the existing power in her arms to support successful crawling at this time.

She's finally figured out how to pull the string on this monkey toy (that was given to her at birth) and make it vibrate. I'd say its one of her favorite toys because it's the one she's had the longest. It's small, colorful, portable, convenient to attach to the car seat and stuff into the diaper bag.

I'm slowly figuring out how to make things fit & function correctly (like the jumperoo video on the side bar). Which worked when I first added it, but I haven't been able to get it to load on subsequent attempts after changing the dimensions.
...okay now it works. good.

Hi Grace!
I like your blog too. And congrats on your family too! Hannah's a cutie.

Certain memories are coming back to me, particularly about the Vaio... which wasn't mine, by the way - I've never owned a laptop. But I do remember that. It seems like a reeeally long time ago! I'm still waiting for pictures. :)

I tried moving her legs, but then I'd have to move her arms afterwards. Maybe if it's a joint effort between you & Ize, you can coordinate arms with legs at the same time...
