My sweet Wee Baby girl is becoming mobile. She is scooting right along and getting into places I would rather her get into. 
It doesn’t take long for her to follow me when I sit her down to play. She is one quick cutie patootie!
Commando crawling is her specialty right now. She gets up real good on her hands and knees, then bobbles and wobbles and falls to her belly. That doesn’t stop her though …. off she goes! Such a big girl!
Mommy is so proud of my wee baby commando crawler.
In a failed attempt to block her from the kitchen and office area, we used our storage boxes as a room divider. It worked for a bit, but for the grown ups in the house it was a bummer to keep hurdling over these road blocks! I pushed a couple boxes apart, just wide enough to get my legs through and I thought I was being a clever mom in doing so.
Well she found that opening straight away and made a dash for it. She was like a kitty cat squeezing through a too small of a space, but she made it through! Bad mommy for laughing at her, it was just too cute to see her squirm her way through the opening!

area.
Mariella is a fantastic explorer! She pokes her fingers into tiny crevasses, including my nostrils. She decided to explore the underside of her activity center. Again and again and again. She got stuck the first time and I thought she wouldn’t go back. I think it was a challenge for her, something for her to conquer. And conquer she did! She is a daring and happy Wee Baby Explorer!
It is time to put this semi-mobile baby in a confined space! lol just teasing. I did search for something fun and colorful for her to play in and not feel confined to a small space. I found the playzone and bought two of them. They are colorful and plastic and fun and she just loves it so much!
The first time she saw it, I sat her in the middle of it and she just looked around smiling. Probably saying thank you Mommy and Daddy for giving me a safe play area to roam around in! She is totally welcome too, it was time for something besides boxes!
Mommy ~ “Here you go Mariella!”
Wee Baby ~ “Now what Mommy?”
Don’t worry, I didn’t just let her fend for herself! I filled the playzone up with toys and trinkets and we both played for the rest of the afternoon.
