Crawler Alert!

Konrad is starting to move! And while many people have responded to this good news by saying, "Oh no, just you wait. He's going to be into everything all the time," I am not the least bit discouraged. I think it is fantabulous, stupendous, and completely exciting! Fortunately, I have to admit, most of our things that he shouldn't play with are above crawler reach. To clarify what I mean by "crawler" I must explain just what kind of crawling he is doing. Austin calls it a hybrid-crawl. He can get up on his hands and knees, and can inch forward some, but within a few seconds he's back on his belly again. So he inches forward on his belly a little, then returns to his hand and knees and the process begins again. It's adorable! I love watching him progress. In addition to crawling, he now has a second tooth that's joined the first. (Oh yes, it's been fun around here! I say that a bit facetiously. Even Konrad, with his normaly happy demeanor, has been testy and easily prone to throwing a fit.) He's also eating his baby food like a champ and I can't blaim him for loving something other than plain old boring formula. Not only is formula traditionally gross to taste and smell, but Konrad has a special kind that is especially disgusting! 

Why is it that babies love to be naked so much?

Playing with his toys

He crawled, from the middle of the room, over to his toys’ basket. He found them!

Don’t worry, we were supervising his nun-chuck skills

Ready . . . attack!
