omg…. how cute!
yaaay!!! So funny that she’s going backwards instead of forwards! Love it!
LOL. She is going to be one spunky, creative girl
Her jumper thing says “I <3 almond butter" right?
Maggie, yes. It was a gift from Janetha from Meals & Moves. So cute.
I was going to ask what it said – how cute!
She’s CRAWLING?! Eek! I love her cute “Pebbles” ‘do as well
Love it! So cute!
My daughter would ROLL to get to where she wanted!! LOL
Favorite post of the week, hands down.
Hahaha, oh my gosh, that’s adorable!! I love it
That is precious!!!
GO SUMMER!
That may just be the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!
Such a creative post idea, Heather! And can I just say how much I LOVE Summer’s little ponytail!?
Riss,
I do too. Love accessorizing her hair which is so surprising b/c I never did anything with mine. They make the cutest little bows and headbands for baby girls now. So fun.
My sister has two baby boys – and LOVES them, of course – but does lament not being able to get girly clothes and stuff…but she said she’s done with having any more! I don’t blame here – y’know little boys
Backwards will get you there too! Max never crawled on all fours. He did an army crawl and it was the funniest thing…then he walked!
Oh the pictures are adorable and yes, your life has just gotten really crazy! A baby is one thing. A baby that is MOBILE is an entirely different situation.
Have fun babyproofing this weekend
I remember the scramble that it is once they can….move!
Awww! How cute! The photo series is perfect hehe.
Just wait until she’s up on her feet and running around.
Nikki,
I know…kind of scared.
beautiful. she’s obviously learning early that there’s no need to fit in with the crowd by crawling forwards
smart girl you’ve got there!
She’s so cute, and you’re so creative! Love it!
How sweet! My little niece is just starting to crawl too. You will be busy chasing her everywhere!
Adorable pictures! Go Summer!
I’ve read that crawling backward before crawling forward is a sign of genius!!
Shellie,
That’s our Summer.
Summer is so cute — her little hands are the sweetest thing.
hahaha! Oh boy, good luck with this new phase! That’s very exciting. Her pony tail is precious!!
So cute!
This just made my morning! How cute!!
love love love her.
lol. what can you do but smile when seeing those pics?!
Watch out world!!!!!! Super cute : )
hahahaha- this is such an awesome post
Hahah! I love this!! She is so adorable…yay Summer!
LOVE IT!!! This is the beginning of the end…mobility got to love it… good thing you got those sneakers…your gonna need them to chase her down soon!!!
How is she crawling already How, seriously Wasn’t it like last week that you were telling us that you were pregnant. And wasn’t it five minutes ago that you gave birth? I feel like my life has moved unbelievably quickly this year, and Summer’s awesome progress is a reminder of that!
CH,
I feel the same way. I can’t believe 2011 is half over and that Summer is 8 months old. When did that happen?!?
This post:
That is AWESOME and your photography setup is the coolest, most creative thing I’ve seen for a while.
omg how cute is she!!!!! ha! Love it! Anthony used to slide instead of crawl! lol!
Awwwww so cute! Love it, hahahaha.
HEABS!!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow… time flies!
Aww, milestone! Haha, so cute.
Oh my, I love those pictures Heather, so clever of you to take it on the blackboard, love, love, love it! Summer is the cutest and the idea is brilliant!
Did I ever tell you that Matheus never actually crawled? He scooted on his belly! He started scooting when he was around 6 1/2 months and that was it, he would go anywhere he wanted looking like a soldier in war, scooting on the belly. He would sit down fine, but never get on all fours and crawl. It was funny to see him scooting. Then when he was about 8 1/2 months old he started pulling himself up on furniture, by 9 1/2 he was walking around when holding onto things (chair, couch), and around 10 1/2 months he started to walk by himself.
Each child is so different. I remember we went to Brazil when Matheus was 9 months and as he would try to walk holding on the things my mom was amazed since she said I only walked after I was a year old.
I have a little video of Matheus scooting, I will find it and send it to you, I had a cute little scooting soldier!
Enjoy this phase, it is a blast to see them move and discover things, I loved when Matheus started scooting, I would see him in a place and then seconds later he was accros the room, they move pretty fast too. Life gets a little crazier but a ton more fun!
Ana
Ana,
Would love to see the video if you can find it. Good to know you were able to travel well with a little scooter. We’ll be in Michigan soon, and I have a feeling Summer is going to change a lot while we’re gone. Many adventures await us up north I’m sure. 
Yes! Summer will get on all fours but can’t quite go any where, and so she just scoots backwards and sooo fast. Can’t leaver her anywhere now. We need a fenced-in living room.
Haha, omg, too cute! Go, Summer, Go!!!
this is so cute!
aaahh!! I was just thinking of the little cutie… I love that she is already stepping outside the boundaries of the “norm” – the world of forwards crawlers! xoxox
Congrats on your little crawler– my sister never crawled, she rolled.
Think of all the calories you’ll burn by chasing that girl!
hahaha this is absolutely too cute.
So cute! How many tries did it take to get her to stay on the board?
Jess, we got it on the 2nd try.
I’m impressed
So cute! My little sister crawled backwards too!
How adorable is Summer?! Love you positioned this post too – you’re so crafty!
hahah…. so cute!
Aw that is so cute! I love this stage
These pictures are awesome! Yay Summer- way to move it!
Haha! I love the photos! My son did the same backwards crawl for about a month or so before he finally started moving forward. Now he’s like a little freight train…full speed ahead!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
(I was a backwards-crawler, as were my kids. Kinda gives you a different perspective on the world, lol!)
Yay for Summer! Life is more interesting now
OMG @ those thighs! haha!
You’ll definitely stay busy, now! The day my daughter learned to crawl was also the day she decided she was ready to climb upstairs!
That little body going backwards and pony tail are the cutest thing!!!!!!Thanks for sharing, it brightened my day
Ah! I love this… how precious!!
Ahh! How exciting! Love the chalkboard!
I love it!! Hooray, Summer!
I also love her onesie/diaper look — little Julian has been sporting the same look all summer!
Too cute. It does not matter how you get there, as long as you get there.
So freaking cute!!!!!! Awwww
Lucy crawls backwards too! So funny. She also does this swim move where she flails her arms and legs when on her belly…and gets pissed she can’t go anywhere like that!
Oh boy, your life is about to get really interesting!!!!
that makes me smile. Evelyn can make 1/4 circle turn, but that’s about it. she likes tummy time so i am thankful for that!
So friggin’ cute! Let the chasing begin…
*Like*
She is sooooo cute. She obviously has a lot of personality too; just like her mother.
Happy Friday!
OMG! cutest thing i’ve seen all day, and i work at a summer camp! love itttt
What a cutie!
Oh my goodness, she is adorable!
Best post I’ve read all day. All week. All year?
Heather, this reminds me that there are always beautiful, wonderful things in this world
Cutest thing I’ve seen all week!!!!!!!!!! Have a great weekend
Cutest pictures evah!!
Yay Summer!!!! Get after it!!!
hahaha uh oh!! Well at least since it’s backwards, she can’t see quite as much stuff to get into
Happy 4th of July Heather! Have a great weekend!
Oh my god thats the cutest thing I have seen in AGES!
She’s going to moonwalk next!!
I could smile and those chubby little thighs all day long. You have the most gorgeous baby I’ve ever seen Heather. Seriously.
Georgie
that is so adorable. looks like youre going to be doing a lot more exercising now chasing after your little mover!
That’s is so adorable and I love the pictures.
My niece Jazzy started walking before crawling. But right before she started walking, she would scoot sideways all the time. not forward or backward, but sideways
Now, she runs so fast I’m scared to take her to the mall because I might lose her.
Wow! You are so creative. My daughter scooched backwards for months, I was worried she’d never look ahead.
We started with backwards crawling and then moved on to log rolling and then eventually army crawling. She army crawled for months before moving to a traditional crawl. Babies are hilarious
I saw some of these on Facebook and thought they were so cute!!!! Just wait till she’s tumbling around on her two feet
Do babies usually start by crawling backward?
Susan,
Not for every baby, but according to the comments, I think it’s pretty common. She’ll be walking so soon…I can’t believe it.
Glad you’ve been able to get outside and get some fresh air. I know that must have felt amazing. I’ve been thinking about you so much.
That’s awesome! And if you read the post backward, she’s totally crawling forward.
That is so cute! She will get the hang of it soon

Cutest pictures EVER!!! Just got back from vacay and how fun to see Summer scooting (backwards). None of my kids ever crawled “the right way” at first either.
I NEED to have another baby just so I can do this!
Oh my goodness….how cute!
AWWWW…. <3
