Speedy Scooter at 14 Months!

Who knew scooting around could make someone go so fast? Well, apparently Caroline has figured out the trick, because just in the last few days, she is scooting around very quickly. She's been scooting around for a while now, but now she seems to have an agenda and very specific places to go now, and she does this at a very determined pace.

Her favorite destination right now seems to be Jack's water bowl, which she loves to push around and spill constantly. This morning, it was the printer paper under our bed, which I found spread all over our room in about 100 sheets. Around lunch, it was the top to the can of stain I was using, so Little Bit made handprints of dark wood stain on the tile floor in about two seconds before I could turn around. Thank goodness it wasn't on the carpet or the rug!

Yesterday, she scooted over and figured out that the gate was at the top of the stairs (which we just installed on Saturday - not a day too soon!).

Hey Mom! Just hanging out up here!

As soon as I put her down, off she scoots...she's not crawling, but she's almost as fast and I'm having to watch her constantly! At least Claire hasn't caught on quite yet - she's trying to advance to pulling up on furniture and crawling more traditionally on her knees. My days are about to get really crazy!
