The chasing begins
I hadn't realised until this weekend that Caitlin has now mastered the concept that three secure limbs allows the fourth to move, with the inevitable consequence that she can now crawl reasonably well! As a result, Anna and I spent much of the weekend dragging her away from electric sockets and cables; only for her to make a bee-line straight back to the same spot. What I've found most impressive, however, is how quickly she has learned to apply her newly-acquired knowledge: she had been able to roll and drag herself around for a little while but, having put it together, she is now also able to drag herself up into a standing position and make quite good progress (as long as she has something to hold on to).
Since we've not been using the car very much recently, it wasn't too much of a surprise (although an unpleasant one) when, just as Anna was about to head off to a baby shower, the battery failed. We'll get another one put in this week but, as I'm currently working in the city, the car very rarely gets out at all during the week; so a fresh one is probably a good thing before we head off to Jervois Bay next month. Aside from that disappointment, things went pretty much to plan over the weekend, with the good news being that Anna has been promoted from an inner to an outer member of the second violins for the next concert with the sinfonia.
