Scoot scoot!
Mar. 25th, 2004 10:35 ammr. flea just called to say that The Fussa had scooted 6 or 5 feet across the room - backwards, of course. He said she was doing great at getting her tummy off the floor. But she'd scooted herself away from the toy she wanted, instead of towards, and was getting very frustrated. Go scooty baby! Next step - forward. (Note to self - install cabinet locks soon).
She's sitting pretty well now, I meant to say - I can go answer the phone and come back and she won't have toppled sideways onto her head. She can bend forward to pick something up and then come back to a stright sitting position, and she can get excited and flap her arms without necessarily falling over. She still does fall a decent amount of the time - either rolling sideways, or once, due to great flappiness, straight backwards. Sometimes it's a soft landing, but other time she's about to go thud when I catch her. She also still gets tired trunk muscles after a while, and will lean forward to put her hands on the floor.
