Two more "firsts" for Hallie

Quick post here, more of an announcement.

Yesterday we witnessed the first time Hallie was able to move forward with a crawl-like motion. She has been very close to being able to crawl for weeks, we were really hoping she'd figure it out while we were with some of our extended family, but we're glad she was finally able to do it. It wasn't much to behold, but from her belly, she clearly reached out and pulled/scooted her body closer to a toy we had put just beyond her reach. Then she grabbed it and put it straight in her mouth. We're counting it as a crawl, much like we did with Will's frog-crawl. Hallie is also very close to a regular crawl - she frequently props up on her hands and knees, but can only seem to figure out how to move backwards from this position.

Another first, this one more humorous. Yesterday in the walk across the hall from the changing table to the bath, naked Hallie simultaneously puked on and peed on her mom. It was both a lot of puke and a lot of pee. It was amazing, and a first for either of our children.
