This poor little girl just wants to move. And she just can’t. It’s really kind of sad. Especially when she scoots herself into situations like these.
Jason magically caught the split second of a smile between cries of, “This is not where I want to be!” and “Help a baby out! Yeah MOM, I’m talking to YOU!” Did I mention she’s talking now? Oh all right. I guess it went more like, “Waaaaaa!!!”
The other kind of neat thing I’ve noticed lately is her attention to detail. She focuses in on the tiniest things. For example, a speck of dirt on the floor. Hypothetically speaking, of course! We wouldn’t let our baby scoot around on a dirty floor. And she has the skills now to whip out a pointer finger and touch that little speck of hypothetical dirt.
If only I were equally intrigued by hypothetical dirt. This baby may be cute, but let me tell you something about her hobbies. BORING!!!
Did she scoot backwards to get into that position? Impressive!

Posted by Laura | September 12, 2012, 7:49 amWhat a darling picture. Just so you know, when you were a baby, we only had hypothetical dirt, too!
Posted by Mom | September 12, 2012, 7:28 amI actually read something recently saying one theory as to why breastfed baby’s don’t always get enough iron is because they aren’t eating as much dirt as the cave babies did. So I figure I’m actually helping her out here.
Posted by Laura | September 13, 2012, 7:23 pmI have so many photos of Leah stuck in places because she could only scoot backward for a long time! She was so frustrated!
Posted by Sarah Kelly | September 12, 2012, 12:10 pmYeah, Ruby definitely gets frustrated. And I do too! I can’t wait until she can get herself out of a jam!
Posted by Laura | September 13, 2012, 7:24 pmIt is amazing how they will find something on the floor that we OLD people can’t even see from our comfy spot on the couch! With Amelia I was such a freak about her not putting that stuff in her mouth, but now with Addilyn I’m like, “Meh, it’s good for her.” I am a little grossed out when the tops of Addilyn’s feet are black from crawling all day. I swear I clean! How are the floors still so dirty?!
Posted by Kari | September 12, 2012, 1:58 pmYeah, I usually don’t stress out about it too much. She has to build up an immune system right?
Posted by Laura | September 13, 2012, 7:25 pmAhhh, hypothetical dirt. I’ve got TONS of that!
Posted by Ashley Austrew | September 12, 2012, 5:50 pmI think we all do
Posted by Laura | September 13, 2012, 7:25 pmI remember when Kalena could only scoot backward! I have several pictures of her backed up into walls and such.
Posted by vandeblogger | September 12, 2012, 6:32 pmSo you’re telling me she’ll figure out the other directions?
Posted by Laura | September 13, 2012, 7:26 pmNope. She’ll probably be scooting backward into her college classes.
Posted by vandeblogger | September 13, 2012, 7:38 pmThat’s what I’m afraid of.
Posted by Laura | September 13, 2012, 7:45 pmSounds like she’s going to be a reader (boring hobby)! But hopefully not of dirt.
Posted by alundeberg | September 12, 2012, 7:13 pmHa! Now I do like reading some. Especially dirt!
