I guess sitting was such a novel, exciting thing that she just wanted to do it all the time. Now that the novelty is wearing off, she is willing to spend some time in other positions as well. Not on her back, though: she always either turns on her side, arching her back like a little cheese doodle, or onto her tummy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd while she is on her tummy, she now wants to go places and do things. She wants to reach that toy, or that corner of the carpet just ahead of her, so she strains with her whole body&#8230; and pushes herself backwards. Frustration ensues. Or she pushes more with one arm and rotates in place like the hands of a clock. (When I took the photo she started out on her back on the fleece, with her head roughly in the middle, where the wool has been flattened.)\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt seems like hard work, but it keeps her occupied and as long as she isn&rsquo;t moving away from something she really wants to reach, she seems to enjoy the experience. Generally she keeps at it until she is really tired, or until she gets stuck because she&rsquo;s backed up against something so she cannot move any more.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI cannot call this activity crawling because it is not intentional and the movements are tiny, but nevertheless she moves!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Ingrid learned to sit, she had a period when she refused to lie down.
