Christian is on the move. I'm a little behind blogging about it, but starting about 2 weeks ago, just after he turned 9 months, Christian started to crawl. I was in the living room with him, trying to get him to move, with no sucess, when Kelly walked into the house from the garage and yelled hello. The moment that little Daddy's boy heard Kelly's voice, he was off and crawling to get to him. Thank goodness I had the camera nearby. It was adorable. So his crawling started out like this:
But after a few days, he was crawling so much that diapering had become nearly impossible and I gave up and filmed him instead:
It's amazing how quickly kids learn. He's now crawling, pulling himself to a stand (watch out if you're a man with hairy legs - he'll pull on anything in sight to get a boost up, as Kelly discovered), and cruising along anything he can find. It is sooo fun to see! I love it when my babies start to move. The world opens up to them and they get so excited to learn and explore. I've also made sure to teach him the stairs so he doesn't get hurt. We practice every day and he's a pro at going up. He goes down well too, if you get him started, but he always forgets to turn around and will go head first if you're not there to get him properly positioned. He'll get it eventually, though. He had his 9 month check up yesterday and he was 75% in height and 25% in weight, so he still growing right on track and doing great. We love our happy, smiley, one-tooth Christian.
