the girl can crawl... kinda

Lena has been a pretty busy girl lately... at the moment she's not only working on cutting in two brand new pearly white teeth, but she is ALSO training herself to crawl. What a girl... so much to do, so little time. Actually, wait... she has plenty of time... what on earth is she rushing for??? Here she is in action...

First she likes to do a couple of push-ups... you know, just to warm up those muscles, of course. Otherwise she'll get cramps later on, and we all know that hurts like the dickens. She's such a good athlete... we could all learn something from her.

Then she gets herself into the crawl position. Nicely done, Lena... but your arms are just a little over-extended, so I'm gonna have to dock you a couple of points for that. I'm sorry to have to do it, you are my daughter and all, but fair's fair.

And now of course the back knee comes forward... good strategy darling, but you know it always leads to the fateful "face plant"... yet you continue to do it... sigh... what's a mother to do.


Uh, oh... I've been caught documenting....

Lena: "Mo-om! I can't be-LIEVE you were sneaking pictures of me practising my crawl! And no doubt you are going to put them on your blog for the world to see! I'm sooooo humiliated!!!"

Well, whatever Lena. Perhaps you didn't realize that you have got major bed-head going on there, PLUS your diaper is totally hanging out of your onesie. Now THAT is something you should be embarrassed about.
