Push-up Power

Reese has been making some steady progress toward (what will hopefully be) crawling. She can successfully get both her chest and bottom off the ground, though seldom at the same time. On the rare occasion that she does coordinate this move, she freezes in the crawling position (on hands and knees) for a few seconds and then collapses. She's enjoying being on her tummy more and can use her arms to turn herself toward objects she wants to grab. She hasn't figured out how to move forwards yet using the "army crawl" which I hear is usually a first step, but we'll keep watching during the next few weeks. Starting two days ago she has also been lifting herself off the ground in a push-up or plank form. The photos I snapped aren't the best since she doesn't' give a whole lot of notice that she's about to attempt this feat, so forgive the quality, but enjoy marveling at Reese's new-found strength.
