My Daughter is A Dinosaur
The Next Obvious Step
This has been happening for some time, now, but I'm just recognizing it, and becoming intrigued. It has come to pass that my daughter now clomps around the house on her hands and knees, referred technically in most academic circles as the 'crawling phase'. Most of the time, she crawls like normal babies do--on her hands and knees. Sometimes, however, she crawls only on her hands and feet with her butt high up in the air. Hilarious. I've not figured the reason for this, what it is that makes her prefer that specific method of locomotion at specific times but, when she does this, she looks like a dinosaur, specifically a diplodocus. The word dinosaur means 'thunder lizard'. Again--apropos.
If I was cool...or had an inordinate amount of time to figure it out, I would post this picture I saw of a diplodocus. But I'm not, and I don't, so I won't, but here's the link to aforementioned picture:

Use your copy and paste skills, if you're so inclined. If you're not, just pay attention throughout your day for earth-shaking thumps and ker-plops. Brianna just may be coming around the corner, in full-on Diplodocus mode. Little Thumper Thunder Lizard.

How thrilled I was to get to be a part of the "dinasour crawl". God is so awesome in how He creates us and shares children with us. Your description is so vivid--I can just see that precious one crawling.
