The world from below

All Abigail does nearly all day every day, is try to crawl under things. Tables. Chairs. Her exersaucer. This past week at two of my friend's houses, she pushed things out of the way and climbed under their tables as soon as I set her down.


At first we tried to block her. But she'd just get frustrated that things were in her way. Or she'd go anyways and get stuck. So instead, we've made them accessible.

And at first, I tried to stop her from bumping her head. But then she didn't learn how to navigate properly. So instead, we've let her bump her head a few times. Let her cry hard. And now she is getting the hang of it and getting hurt a whole lot less.

Under one of our many loaner end tables. They'll give you a ton of these things, but only two chairs!

Sometimes she gets stuck. And then she gets mad. She loves going under the coffee table.
Here she is getting UNDER the exersaucer while our goddaughter Reese is in it!
