And she's off...

By the 3rd week in July at a mere 6 1/2 months Claire officially crawled. Crawling as an amusement in itself didn't last long. It quickly became a method of getting somewhere to pull up. Our baby hulk is now pulling up by shear arm strength on anything (furniture, toys, people, shoes, appliances)! Check out this early video of her feats!

Along with her new found mobility came the inevitable bumps and bruises. My perfect little unscathed angel is now a rough and tumble kid. She's quite adventurous and is getting into everything. Jon and I really have to be on our toes! Fortunately her dismounts are improving, but not quite worthy of gold medals. "Eyes on the prize, Claire" ;-)
