Margaret has been consuming an enormous amount of food lately. We think she's having a growth spurt. If that's the case, the end result is likely to be crawling. She is getting awfully close. The video below is from the past week, but it already looks outdated. She's got the sitting thing down pat (which, as you can see, was new just a few days ago) and I even found her sitting up in her sleep the other night. She's now up on hands and knees but hasn't figured out how to get forward motion from that position. We hope she waits at least a few days because we haven't child-proofed the house!
Apologies to those regular viewers who are accustomed to titles, transitions and soundtracks. This is just the raw footage:

SO close!! That video (despite being without John's finesse) is fantastic. I hope that we might get to overlap with you all on MM for at least a day, to meet Margaret in person!
Wow! It's fascinating to watch her progress...she's almost there! Enjoy your days when she's willing to go to such lengths to get an empty camera case....this stage doesn't last too long. Pretty soon she is going to need better enticements to perform her party tricks! Hope you guys have a great day. Thanks for posting Sarah.
Love,
Joannie
Wow, I can't believe how far she's come! She gets this pleased smile on her face every time she sits up. The cheering squad here on the west coast was cheering her on all through the video, saying, "Come on, there you go, a little farther!" She's SO close to crawling!
love the pics, posts and videos!! your work is much edgier than john's. whaddya mean margaret's not crawling... her form isn't perfect, but its definitely crawling in my book! hugs from all of us, gayle
I love Margaret's commentary on the situation. She's clearly both really excited about and proud of what she's doing and SO frustrated that she's not crawling. That kid knows what she wants! Look out!
Greetings from Princeton -- how i miss you guys! Haven't checked in for a few days and lo and behold -- a bonanza of postings! How fun --i LOVE the sequence of Margaret working the pacifier while the strap is stuck under her leg. I just want to eat her up.
Anyway, Sarah, hope you had a lovely birthday -- it looks like so much fun up in Maine. Let me know when you get our package -- hope everything fits!
Love,
Joy
Wonderful, Sarah. I agree with Gayle about the edgy aspect, although we DO miss you John!
She is sooo ready to go - no doubt waiting for me to come up!
It's funny, as pleased as she looks when she sits up, it sometimes looks like she almost does it by accident. Almost like she's trying to crawl, then somehow winds up sitting after applying pressure in the wrong place.
It's so cute!
Thanks for putting up so much information so that the far away dad can feel like part of the action.
She's changing every day and I can't wait to get there to see her and hold her again.
She is so close! In the meantime, she seems to have mastered some pretty complex yoga moves! :) She looks so pleased when she sits up by herself (as she should - that's not an easy skill to master!). We're counting down the days until we can see you guys!
