A new and exciting development is taking place in this household. Prior to yesterday, my baby boy would get on his hands and knees and sort of rock back and forth and then lunge himself forward to get what he wanted. Well, yesterday I saw four or five unmistakable crawling "steps" forward. I tried to get him to replicate the motion by enticing him with toys but to no avail.
This morning my mom stopped by and was wearing some bright green sandals. Well, my boy took one look at those and crawled himself right over to see them. After that he sort of realized that he could do it and now he's been a crawling machine. It's just so amazing (and scary!) how one minute they can't do something and the next minute they can.
I'm not sure I'm quite ready for this. Next on my to do list? - googling baby proofing and home safety hazards.
