To Walk or To Crawl?

Lexi is still working on trying to figure out how to crawl - she is SO close. It is pretty amazing how we learn to coordinate our muslces to do such things - and then they become second nature. She happily 'walks' if you hold her hands and walk with her. It's hard on the adult's back, though! She is pulling herself up on just about everything and laying on the bed today with me, she was trying to squirm over me to get to the other side. What for, I don't know.

Stephen's parents are here visiting and are having a good time with Lexi. While they are here, we will leave Lexi with them for 3 nights and take off for Mombassa. It will be interesting to see how she handles that. She is getting a little more 'mommy' clingy but Jane (the house help) manages to distract her easily enough so she doesn't wail too long. And she is happy to be held by just about anyone. We are currently in Tanzania and the hotel staff have all wanted to hold her.
