And she's off ...

Isabelle started crawling a few weeks back. She went from rocking straight to the all-fours hands and knees crawl, and she's pretty efficient—quick across the room if someone leaves a shoe on the floor or opens the front door or drops a Cheerio. She has figured out how to get up the step from the family room to the kitchen, but down is still a face-first flop if she gets there faster than we do.
