Emery has resumed crawling. While the fact that in two seconds flat she can completely disappear from the room is often heart-stopping, I like the crawling. It means that she doesn't feel the need to hold on to me every waking second, just most of them. Also, she stood today unassisted for like 30 seconds. She only fell down because she tried to take a step. Let me repeat that, she stood until she fell because she tried to walk. I still vividly remember giving her her first bath, marveling over her first smiles, how can my baby be starting to walk?
