We've Got a Mover!

Friday, April 2, 2010

Well...it has finally happened...Jonah has joined the ranks of the crawling!! The last week or so he has dabbled with it, going one or two paces and then giving up or changing his direction entirely. Sometimes he would do some weird Yoga-esque pose with one hand and foot down on the ground and the other hand and foot in the air and just balance there! (Sideways plank maybe?) Anyway...as of yesterday we began classifying him as a real crawler when I saw him move forward, legs and arms in sync, for a good 5-6 paces in a straight line!!! It is so fun to see his face light up when he is actually moving towards his intended destination instead of farther from it! As for us, we are now in the limbo of "woo hoo!" and "oh crap!" because Jonah is all over the place! His favorite attractions right now are dirty shoes, light sockets (already covered!!), and a package that I have yet to mail to a friend. I am in a constant dance of move this, and move that until we can really do some major cleaning this weekend!

Here is a video that Andrew took this morning of Jonah in action. Apparently Andrew has found that when he stands pegs up in Jonah's peg board they just taunt our little man until he successfully knocks them all over. Smart Daddy used this knowledge to his advantage today as crawling bait. Enjoy! (Notice how the face plant he takes in the middle of his trek doesn't deter him at all. MUST...GET...THE...PEGS!)
