8 months!

Maya turned 8 months on November 11th and she is officially a crawler! She started crawling on Nov. 4th. She had been doing the army crawl pretty well for a couple of weeks, but once she discovered the true crawl it was on! I was hoping that the step down to our living room would keep her contained for a little while- seeing as our house has a completely open floor plan down stairs and there is no such thing as barricading or gating off a play area. Well, that plan lasted about 2 days and she had already mastered climbing up the step. The getting back down wasn't quite as easy or graceful, but she has that done pat now as well, she just lays on her stomach and puts her hands down on the lower floor and scoots until she is down- it is so cute!
