He's CRAWLING!

This morning Ian crawled for the first time. We're so proud! He has been so close for weeks now, and this morning he crawled almost as soon as I set him on the floor. He must have been practicing in his sleep! Here is a little video of him demonstrating the skill.
Well, he'll be awake and crawling again in 9 hours-- we'd better hurry and baby-proof the house!

More Video

He's not doing anything too exciting, but he sure is a cute little boy! I am very proud of myself for figuring out how to post video clips.

New Teeth & Near to Crawling

My sister tells me I am irresponsible for not posting more pictures and updates in the last few weeks. Forgive me.
Ian has a TOOTH! After a few days of fussiness, refusal of food, and then incredibly long naps, Ian's first tooth broke through! It is on the bottom right front. We tried in vain to get a picture of it. Once it pokes up a little higher it should be easier.


In other news, Ian likes to feed himself, with a little help. I put food on a spoon, hand it to him, and he puts it in his mouth. And elsewhere... Here he is feeding himself oat cereal. He is great at getting up on his hands and knees and rocking. He often falls on his face because he is able to inch his legs forward but can't figure out how to move his hands forward. He can also push himself backward. A few days ago I left Ian practicing his crawl on our bedroom floor. I came back a few minutes later to find him like this! A few minutes later and the bed would have swallowed him completely!




Being Ian's mom is so much fun!
