one of ellie’s many talents these days is cruising. for the uninitiated, simply put: cruising is the act of pulling one’s self up and using furniture, and a variety of other objects (or people!), to move around a room.

ellie has been doing this for quite some time now, but we’ve only captured it on film a couple of times. recently we’ve had to clear the coffee table of any item we didn’t want to end up in her mouth, but in doing so also figured out that some things she just can’t reach if you put them dead center.

this is an example of the shenanigans that ensue when she can’t reach something … as if moving around the table will get her close.

and this had gone on for five minutes before i decided to film! silly baby.
