Crawling and Clapping

So one day Jay and I were playing with Rose and she suddenly crawled into the corner, stopped and clapped for herself. When we clapped too she started to speed around the room with regular stops to cheer herself on. This video is the very tail end of that very fun game!

Rose Finally Crawls

Exciting news from Askren-land: Rose has finally figured out forward motion. Yes, after two months of teasing, Rose finally mastered the forward crawl, accomplishing the first of many New Years resolutions a mere days after the ball fell. She, of course, was extra motivated by her mother's week-long, food-poisoning induced diarrhea, figuring that anytime Mom can't move must be the right time for her to start!
