And She's Off.....

Finally, at 8.5 months, while vacationing at Pismo Beach, Annalisa started crawling. She's been getting into crawl position and rocking on all fours for quite some time, but had never crawled more than a few steps until now.

Still, Annalisa seems more content sitting in one place or flopping onto her belly. She has to really want something to get motivated enough to crawl to it. (I guess that works in my favor for now, as I can put off "imprisoning" her in a baby gate for a little longer....)

Here's a picture of Annalisa when she started crawling around the hotel room at Pismo Beach.
