Close to crawling

Natalie is really close to crawling now. She's much quicker at getting from all fours to sitting, and from sitting to lean forward to reach a toy. She does everything from one side better than the other, so the PT is always working on the weak side to get her strong on both sides. When we help her crawl by moving either her hands or knees, she moves the part we're not moving in response to our move. I think she is physically strong enough, but the coordination and balance is still not quite enough to take off across the room. But she's close!

She's been a little crabby the past few days...I don't think because of illness...she gave Lukas the cold he now has, but she's already recovered. I think another molar is coming in. She drooled a lot on our trip but isn't drooling now (seems typical of her to drool a lot with no pain, then the pain comes when she stops drooling). She has four front teeth on top, three front teeth on bottom, and three of her four molars so far...so that makes 10 teeth. She took so long to get any teeth at all (11 months before her first one came in) and now it seems like they're coming in all at once.
