This will go down in history as the day that Katie become mobile. No, she doesn't walk. No, she doesn't crawl. But she does get wherever she wants to go shockingly quickly. How does she do it? When she is on her back, she arches her back so that the only thing touching the ground is her head and her feet. She then uses her arms and legs to quickly move wherever she wants go. Her arms and legs move surprisingly fast (Wife says it almost looks like she is having a seizure, but she clearly has complete control over each movement). Her legs provide most of the power, while her arms control her direction.
Since she moves around when we put her on her back, Wife decided to just flip her onto her tummy for a minute when she doesn't want Katie sliding off the bed. Nope, that doesn't help. Katie just rolls from her tummy to her back and races off to go wherever she wants to go.
Katie is extremely pleased with herself for figuring out this maneuver. When I came home from work tonight, Katie immediately showed me her new trick. As she moved around, she looked up at me with a huge smile. I don't think I've ever seen her so pleased with herself.
