On the Move!!

It's official... Collin is crawling! About a month ago, he started getting up on his knees and rocking. Then last week, he started moving. And now this week, he is into EVERYTHING! My little explorer!



So far, his favorite things to get into are the paper recycling bin, the VCR (which he has already pulled down), the wires for the kids' Smart Cycle, the garbage, the concrete fireplace base, etc.... basically anything that makes a fun sound when it crumples, or is dangerous, or gross. Fortunately, he hasn't figured out how to open the cabinets yet. He tries to when he is in his walker, but fortunately, the cabinet doors are blocked by the walker. Phew!

Last month, Collin started clapping, and just last week he also started waving. Of course, he usually waves about 3 minutes after the fact or for no good reason at all.

He's also getting a good start at pulling himself up. In fact, the other day I laid him down for a nap, and after about 15 minutes, I noticed that his usual wimper was more like an "I need you mommy!" cry. I went in to see what was going on, and found him standing in his crib, holding on to the railing for dear life! I suppose he got himself up and didn't know how to get himself back down.

Love my little mischief maker!!!!

Oh. My. Word.
Could he be any cuter?!?!

Does he actually say "fast" as he is crawling in that video?! It sure sounds like it...and from what you wrote it sounds like he is a man on a mission! :o)

Sometimes you forget to enjoy the amazing moments because of all the unamazing things that distract us. So beautiful to see the excitement of this moment! Miss you my friend.
