9mth old crawling - how to protect her knees?

I love my girls
Hi, my 8mth old DD has just started to crawl and as we have marble floors throughout our lounge room I dread how her knees are going to fare. I can hear the squeak of her skin against the floor with every movement, poor little petal. We live in a very hot/humid climate so I can't just put her in long pants all the time. I'm looking for some knee protectors or something similar that are light weight. Can anyone help?
