Wow, now I actually have to vacuum on a regular basis...ugh. We first noticed her crawling at the beginning of the month...she crawled 2 steps. Her biggest deterrent has been crawling out of her clothes. I will find her laying on her tummy on the floor, sucking her thumb, with both legs in the torso portion of her footed outfits! She went from rocking to crawling so quickly, it seems to me. Of course, I am comparing her to the big brother who didn't *truly* crawl until he was 10 months old! He did the 'army crawl' starting at about 7 months and then finally when we were visiting my parents overseas, Ley decided to use his hands and knees instead of his tummy to get around. Maddie seems to be doing everything a little earlier than her brother did at this point (well, everything except eating solids and putting herself to sleep at night--Leighton beat her to the punch on those two!): rolling over, sitting alone, pulling self into sitting position, and crawling; she has even started pulling herself onto her knees to get into her toy basket and play on the learning table and such. I can't believe today is her 7 month birthday...it just blows my mind. It seems like yesterday, I was turning flips and doing handstands in the pool at my pastor's house to try and flip a breech baby, and now she is crawling around on my living room floor!

I can't believe she's crawling!! I think Sasha was more like 9 months and Jackson was 10 months. She's a lean mean crawling machine! :) So cute, thanks for sharing!
She really is crawling early! What an athlete. I love her little cue-ball head. Reminds me of Elle...she didn't have hair til she was 2. Wish I could kiss and smell Maddie's little head! haha
p.s. Maddie is one of my favorite names...very seriously considered it with AK.
oops. I got impatient and clicked "publish your comment" too many times. sorry for the deletes.
Yes, I am hoping that crawling early doesn't equal walking early! She can definitely do it, but she is not all over the place just yet. She is still pretty content to sit in one place for awhile and play, which is just fine with me. But she is already pulling up on stuff and I am thinking, whoa, slow down...
Yes, our church life group was making fun of her last night that she has no hair! I SO can't wait for bows...if she could just get enough for on of those 'no slippy clippies', i would buy one in a heartbeat--but she's just got nothin' basically :)
Thanks, Lauren--I love it, too. It took me most of my pregnancy to get Jeremy to allow Madden and I think it was only because he knew he could call her Maddie :). Ley still calls her 'baby sister' most of the time because we couldn't agree on a name for so long and that's what he got used to...
