Pulling Her Weight

We knew that our move to the new house in Alameda would be soon followed by a number of big milestones for Virginia. She's been increasingly mobile and alert - it is a joy to watch!

While not technically crawling yet, she's a complete speed demon at her modified crawling method. We lovingly call her method of locomotion her "wounded soldier" impersonation because she mainly uses her upper body to drag her lower body along afterwards. We've begun the childproofing of our new house because she's already showing a strong interest in outlets and doorstops.

This week, Virginia's big feat was learning to pull up! Here's a video of her with her nanny, Kim, demonstrating her new skill for one of the first times.
