Emily has been actively cruising around the house lately. She is really good at understanding that she needs to hang onto something in order to move from place to place. She is also getting better at balancing without hanging onto anything. It only lasts for a few seconds at a time, but even a couple weeks ago it would have been unthinkable. One of the best places to put her is in Abbie's play kitchen. There is counter on three sides and Emily is content to "walk" from counter-to-counter and explore as she goes. It just works out really well because there is so much safe, plastic stuff for her to get into and so much counter for her to hang onto.
When there is no furniture to cruise on, Emily has firmly established her signature crawl. She no longer complains about it and has started to pick up speed. It is a distinctive style - two hands, left foot, and right knee. The foot goes forward and then the knee gets dragged along behind it. It is really cute to watch.
