Ushering in a new era: the mobile Jessie!

Uh oh! As of yesterday, Jessie is officially mobile! We haven't managed to get many pictures of her yet because she always stops to pose when she sees a camera, but she's been trying to coordinate all four limbs for about a week, and on Tuesday had her first success. She managed to get them all under her simultaneously, followed by a pitch forward that caught her by surprise. Since then, her brain has been analyzing the results of that first foray as well as subsequent attempts, both successful and unsuccessful, which have rapidly developed into a technique to push herself backwards (generally towards the basement stairs!). This is usually accompanied by a sly grin, and followed immediately with an impish smile and a cessation of all motion when she sees that she managed to get a camera to appear.
