Carrie and I are in a world of trouble!

Carrie and I are in a world of trouble! We're going to have to baby-proof EVERYTHING! Ha, ha!

My boy is crawling!

Wednesday night was the first time. I almost didn't believe what I saw. I don't think Shane believed it either because he only did it once or twice and then seemed to forget or lose interest in the whole experience.  Thursday, he was at it again!  Only this time, the lesson stuck!  Carrie would put her phone on the floor and Shane would traverse the open expanses of carpet separating him from a Macintosh snack. She then used her phone to lure him into crawling under and through his jumper.  Friday, Carrie emailed me this video while I was at work. I had been complaining that we didn't have enough photos/footage of the boy lately and she was obviously listening!  Great video of a great boy!

Shane had been on the verge of crawling for at least a month and a half.  Mostly, he'd just been rolling around like a pig in mud to get wherever he was going.  I was able to safely set him down places and do chores as long as I made sure there were barriers he couldn't roll over. The little stinker can tackle straight lines now! It's baby-proofing time! Shane's always had a love for finding 'forbidden fruit' like paper, cardboard, and cell phones, but now he's been upgraded to a baby cruise missile of gnawing destruction. It'll be a miracle if the cats survive.
