Girl On The Go

It has been almost two weeks since I predicted that it would be about a month until Kenley crawled. What is it about kids always having to make a liar out of their parents? I could hardly believe my eyes this morning when she started taking those first wobbly movements forward. At first it was just one and she would sit back up. Then she would make two strides and sit back up. Now just a few hours later she is able to crawl six or eight strides to get something she wants. Those of you that know Kenley know that this is an absolutely liberating day for me. She has only cried when I have set her down once or twice today because now she knows she can move if she wants to. It is so exciting to see her look at something that she wants and actually go get it. Way to go Kenley! Here is some footage of our Little Kenley Lael on her first day of crawling. Go get 'em little girl.



Although it pales in comparison to today's accomplishment, yesterday was Kenley's first time to roll over from her back to her tummy. I wasn't sure if it "counted" since she used the leg of a coffee table as an aid. But today she has done it several more times without assistance so I will mark it down. Kenley had physical therapy for the second time last week. This is the second time that she has made marked progress right after a PT session. I am thinking she may not need it anymore, but they qualify children in six month increments so we will continue to have sessions. I am so proud of her for the accomplishments in the past days.
