Ladder work at 13 weeks

Fizz is finally physically big enough to start working with the extension ladder for body awareness.   It's still a fairly deep step for her, going between the rungs, and on average, she's hitting 5 or 6 times per length.   It seems to be something she likes, as she offers it readily, even when I don't have food.    This is our 2nd session of walking through, and feeding.   I'm trying to time my feeding with hind foot movement.    One thing I really liked in this video is that she actually offered backing up through the ladder.  That's on our list of "to do" for when she's a bit older and has better understanding of body control.   Was very excited to see her do it on her own.

I have been teaching backing on the flat, but it's not on cue yet b/c she often curves to the side.   I won't name it until she's backing straight up.   The more she learns to control her body now while small, the more agile she'll be as she grows, with better ability to maintain position in motion, and less likelihood of injury.     Fizz was 3 months old yesterday (13wks), and weighed in at 25.5lbs.   She's almost tripled in size from when she arrived 5 weeks ago!
