Look! No Hands!

Amelia is still not quite proficient at crawling, but this weekend I found her balanced on two feet, just for a couple of seconds.  But still!!  Slow down baby.  She is all about getting up on her two feet to explore the stairs, the TV bench, Lilli's bed, the couch, boxes, baskets, chairs.  She is finding all sorts of forbidden toys and objects.  She's loving it.  I'm nervous!  Her speed crawling is coming along too.  When she sees an opening to reach a denied toy or an appealing wire or even better an electrical outlet, she jumps into high gear and positively races on hands and knees.  She plays chase: chasing and being chased are equally fun.  She frequently nose dives into the ground in her haphazard rush to escape or catch you.  When we do catch her with tickling fingers she helplessly belly flops to the ground and giggles in squirmy delight.
