The whole point of crawling Mummy surely is to enable me to get to places where I can pull myself up to stand??

Missy Indepedent voluntarily left us for the first time yesterday, we were in the bedroom and she decided to crawl into and explore the hallway for about 30 seconds before coming back to see where we were. It was very endearing to see this little face pop around the door frame and burst into a smile at seeing us again. It made me realise it's the very beginning of her transition from dependence to independence.
