Roll on in and Back it Up

Addison has been determined to get where she wants to go for sometime (I think since she was a month old), and is now trying her hardest to accomplish this goal. However, since she is not yet crawling I'm afraid that it usually just ends in frustration rather than actually going where she wants to go. Here are a few pictures of where her travels have taken her. (You will notice the bewilderment on her face in most of these pictures.)

Mode of Transportation:

Rolling

Under the couch.

Stuck in her activity center

Underneath the coffee table.

Mode of Transportation:

Scooting/crawling backwards

Under the entertainment center.

So far from the intended goal of reaching her little pink rattle in the lower right corner of the picture.

Stuck under the bar stool.

Stuck under the couch.


The scooting/crawling backwards had to be the most frustrating stage for Missy-Lou. She would see what she wanted, muster all of her strength and start moving - only to be getting further and further away. And the problem with only being able to move in one direction is that when you end up in a predicament where you are up to your waist in couch or bar stool, there is nothing left to do, and no where else to go - all you can do is cry and wait to be rescued. Her Grandad's both say she has her transmission stuck in reverse. Hopefully, she'll be able to switch gears soon enough and won't be left so frustrated all of the time! But, until then I'm sure she'll just keep on rolling in and backing it up. :)
