cruising progress

Both girls were able to cruise holding onto something. EY was very efficient with her cruising from this side of the room to the other side alone the sofa. HY was a bit slower but she could do it if she liked to. They both master a new trick while they were cruising. They were able to bend down to retrieve an object on the floor while one hand was holding onto the sofa or a chair. At first they would dangle their hands and stick out their butt to see whether they could reach it. If they could not, then, they would bend their knees a bit and curve their waist to the side to grab the target. They had to work on how to avoid pushing on each other if one needed to pass the other. I usually would hear HY crying while EY nearly pushed HY off the support structure. HY would be fighting to keep herself in balance with one hand holding on and the other hand trying to block EY. I guess crawling on the floor to pass sister was not an option for EY yet. Or, they just liked to push and got physical with each other. Or, it was part of fun :-)
