After about a week of crawling backwards, Janelle surprised us this morning with her crawling FORWARD! Finally! She has learnt to crawl at exactly 7 months old 
The past week of crawling backwards was really quite amusing (to us) but frustrating (for her). I constantly found her legs and butt stuck underneath her wardrobe, TV console, sofa, etc, because she kept moving backwards instead of forward!
And each time we used a toy to "lure" her to come forward, she would lurch excitedly in an attempt to move nearer, but inevitably moving further and further away from the toy! Well, all i can say that her desire to reach the goal was there, but the technique was wrong - which so often happens in our lives as well, isn't it?
Sigh...we missed all her milestones. Make sure u're here when she starts to walk ok.
ReplyDeleteThat's the milestone for u to achieve by 2007 :)
