Well that didn't take long! We enjoyed about one week of Delphinium being contained to the living room with her crawling. It was nice to be able to leave her in there while we ran to the bathroom or got the laundry going. We can't do that any more because last night she figured out the trick to getting up the one step into the rest of the house. I'm not sure exactly how she did it, but some combination of wriggling and squiggling got those knees up on the higher level.
After successfully summiting the step, our girl made a grand tour of all those rooms she hasn't been able to visit before. Who knew that the bathroom, hallway, and laundry could be so interesting? Also, the family room is a whole different place when you aren't hampered by your huge walker. It was an especially impressive feat given that she was crawling on the smooth laminate floors which takes a lot more work than the nice grippy carpet. Luckily, she didn't seem to notice the stairs, but I'm sure that will also be coming right up.
M and I just sat on the floor and watched her cruise around. She was incredibly proud of herself for the accomplishment, and I think she would have crawled around all night if we'd let her. It was one of those smack you in the heart moments where you realize just how much your little noodle baby has grown up. Is it just me or does it seem like the first year is nothing but those kinds of moments?

Does this mean she won't find the walker fun anymore, or is she still enjoying it?
