How exciting! We caught our little man’s first little movements on video! That’s right, Judah just started crawling last week. His first scoots were slow and deliberate. We giggled at him as he made his way across the blanket spread out on the floor. I even asked my mom and dad who were there at the time, “Can you even count that as crawling?”
Well, now there is no doubt he is crawling! Those first “crawling” movements on Friday are a thing of the past, by Monday he was a pro! Now I am chasing him all over the room trying to keep him on the pallet so he doesn’t smack his ‘noggin on the hardwood floor. He’s had a couple of bangs, but nothing serious – no knots or bruises, just some short crying spells. I guess it is all part of learning.
He has also discovered all the things he shouldn’t be getting in to! Isn’t it funny how there is a room full of things to play with and yet they go straight for the one thing they aren’t supposed to touch? In our case, it is the cord to the swing. He wants to get his little paws on those cords so bad! I spend the majority of the time redirecting him away from the cords and back to the toys.
Everyday I am amazed at how quickly he discovers something new, or learns to do something new. It seems like everyday there is something funny that happens or a new discovery that is made. I am so lucky that I get to spend so much time with him. I will cherish these moments forever.
