Back in the good old days you could put an Elizabeth down and she would
stay put. It will never be the same… she’s figured out how to arch
her back while on her stomach and push back with her arms to propel
herself backwards off the play mat and onto the wood floors. Once she’s
on the nice smooth floors, she can scootch wherever she wants- at least
until she backs into a wall or under the couch.

To foil her plan of scooting around while I took care of stuff around
the house, I placed her down on her back. Not to be held up, she
immediately learned to roll over onto her tummy and then proceeded with
her scootching around the living room. What an exciting day!

She seems quite pleased with herself and keeps looking up at me to see
if I’m watching, which of course I am.
