Standing, shuffling, reaching, CRAWLING???

So she can pull herself up to stand, yesterday she took a few assisted yet deliberate steps. 4 of them. Yes, I'm scared. And apparently I spoke too soon in last weeks post. 

After a couple months of a comfortable (for me, not her) manoeuvres to move within a 4 foot radius, this morning Lady Penelope decided she's going to start crawling. No more little reach and sits. No more bum shuffles. 

 
She went from not crawling at all, to bombing around the living room ripping every book from its shelf, every cord from it's socket and ducking under every blockade we had set up. (video forthcoming)

Looks like it's time for baby gates and a thorough child proofing!
