Scoot This Way

About a week ago we noticed that Molly was doing quite a bit of traveling. She's not heading off to Europe with Uncle Simon, but she is making her way around the living room. She seemed quite frustrated at first that she was moving farther and farther away from her toys (as she can only scoot backwards). During the past week though, she's gone from moving around as she accidentally pushed herself backwards, to holding herself up on her hands and knees, then rocking a bit, eventually sliding back a few inches at a time. After two particularly unnerving episodes today, one which involved Molly starting off sitting by the coffee table and minutes later surprising Damian when he found her playing on her tummy by the piano bench (about 2 yards), and another where she stared on her tummy facing the couch and managed to get over to the TV to push the buttons on the DVD player, we panicked and went into babyproofing mode. Of course, we got almost nothing done, but she has us terrified that she'll be driving by next month. We'll now be watching her like a hawk. There's no way she'll get away with sneaking out of the house tonight!
