Sitting and crawling

Yes, Imogen is now doing both!

She's been sitting fairly well for two or three weeks now, but just the last few days she's been doing it, fairly reliably, unsupported. Yes, she's not good at keeping her balance when Buster pushes past, or when she twist or reaches sideways, but as long as she's happy playing with whatever is in front of her, she's fine. We still wouldn't leave her, because she does get tired but her strength is increasing all the time.

And the crawling has just happened today. Up until now she's managed to get around by rolling sideways and spinning on her belly, but today there was definite purposeful forward movement. It's commando crawling at the moment, but her bum does go in the air and her knees do go under her sometimes, so I'm guessing it'll develop into "proper" crawling given more time and practice. The movement is still slow, and obviously hard work (lots of huffing and puffing involved), but no doubt that will change in the coming days as well. Watch out Buster - she's already chased your tail and she'll only get better at it!
