Crawling Fever: Little Man Has It

Little Man has reached a milestone that is both revered and dreaded by every mother I know: Crawling (or more accurately, "creeping").

I am excited for Little Man, since he would sit and whine and try so hard to get whatever toy that was just out of reach. Now he can get on all fours and crawl over to whatever he desires.  Normally this includes wires, The Crazy One's bone, Dear Husband's shoes, or The Crazy One's water bowl (see picture below...)

I was one of those mother's who thought, "The later he starts to crawl, the better", but I enjoy watching him move towards his desired object with quick efficiency while hearing the "slap, slap, slap" of his palms on the hard floor.

However, as much as he is enjoying this new found freedom, he is already moving on to the next feat: Pulling up.  He tries so hard to pull up on the coffee table, me, or even his crib. I'm not sure I'm ready for that, but we'll see when the time comes!
