Hannah started to crawl yesterday. It's not the super-fast get from point A to point B crawl, but it's a start. She was very motivated to grab the laptop cord and so she not only scooted towards it, it was a push/drag herself across the floor action. Her mid-section is not way above the ground yet b/c i don't think her arms are that strong, but she's trying. I'm sure it'll just be like when she figured out how to roll over a month or so ago. The first time she rolled over, she was stretching (or trying to look for nourishment), and she accidentally rolled. She was fascinated with her new discovery and just kept at it daily, and within the week she was actively rolling. So I think that's how her crawling will be too. We started shooting this video after she had already executed her successful crawl.
Today she was very motivated to grab my glasses that I had placed on the blanket since I was laying down next to her. She crawled over on her tummy and intently continued to crawl towards them as I moved them farther away each time.
Like other babies at this stage, she likes cords, glasses, and other things that we as adults use often. She wants to grab for whatever it is that we're using or doing. I try to distract her by giving her own toys to her, but if she has her mind set on something we're using, she's not as easily distracted as when she was a few weeks younger than now. She's likes the tags on toys and other items and enjoys sucking/chewing on them.
