Kailee is on the move!

Kailee has finally gotten going...she "army crawled" for a bit, than crawled on her knees for 2 or 3 paces, but now is finally putting it all together. She's not all over the place by any means, but she can go about 5 feet at a time. Brooke and Jackson have been leaving her alone as they roam, so maybe this week she'll follow their lead and keep up! This video isn't the greatest...she was fussy and ready for a nap, but you'll get the point!

Thinking she's ready for the stairs...hold on there tiger! She definitely gave it some effort, but didn't get anywhere...yet!

And p.s. on a side note, Kailee is continuing to follow EXACTLY in Hailey footsteps in terms of meeting the big milestones. So not only do they look alike and weigh the same, but they sat up in the same time frame and have now crawled in the same time frame (Kailee beat Hailey by about a week). It's very odd considering the broad window given for crawling (typically 5 months to 9 months with some kids who never do and just start walking) And with slightly different environments...Hailey, the only child at the time with all the attention vs. Kailee, who has to share the spotlight, but has the other older babies to observe. Interesting... Well, the next biggie is walking and Hailey did that at 10 1/2 months. Maybe these physical milestones are met at the same time because they have practically identical body structures. hmmm.......

Something funny about "army crawl". Since Mark was a Marine, we called it the "marine call". I realize it is called the Army Crawl!
