He keeps me on my toes!

And He's Off!

Well, it's official -- Sean is crawling.

It's hard to say when he started crawling, as it's been a gradual process for him. A few months ago, he was getting around by rolling around the room. At some point, he started experimenting with an "army crawl." Then, he'd get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth a bit. A few weeks ago, he'd take one crawling "step" but then go back on his tummy and army crawl some more. Soon, that one step became two, which became four until suddenly, he was crawling everywhere.

Now, he's unstoppable. "Constant Motion" is how my aunt described him. "All over the place" is how I usually describe him. He's taking advantage of his new-found mobility to get into whatever he can. Looks like we got the baby gates up just in time!!
