Are We Crawling Yet?

For the past three weeks, Kate has been doing the rocking on her hands and knees motion. The problem is the head butting the floor that follows the rocking motion. She entirely doesn't enjoy this and subsequently Mom doesn't enjoy the banshee screaming that follows the head butting. Kate is so ready to crawl and is frustrated beyond anything that she can't get anywhere (occasionally she'll go backwards). She has resorted to doing push-ups on her hands and toes just to try to move forward. This does work sometimes, but the head butting is more severe from that angle.

She can roll quite well and she also pivots on her tummy to move around. She is quite mobile that way, but the crawling is just so close and she knows it. I probably shouldn't be encouraging the crawling, but she is frustrated and unhappy and I know she will be her happy self once she can get places. Hopefully the stars will align soon and Kate will be crawling and chasing her brothers.

PS - My mom emailed some baby pictures of me the other day. I can totally see Kate in them. Kate is a bit chubbier than I was, she gets that from Greg. I'm serious; Greg was a complete ball of chubby wubby fat when he was a baby. I still think she looks more like Enoch than anyone.
