And we got his first go on video!
We were smucking about on the bed. He saw the Prized Ipod (he’s been wanting to get ahold of it for months) and simply… started crawling across the bed towars it. Awkward crawling, but definitely crawling. Not the usual straddle, straddle, lunge he does to propel himself forward, this was actually one step after the other.
This was REALLY exciting for us. Just like that. So we grabbed to camera, he did it again, and now today, (the next day), he still does it. So that’s that. Just like sitting up, one day, after trying awkwardly forever, he just suddenly starts doing it.
But don’t take MY word for it (i mean let’s face it, are you really fool enough to believe a word that comes out of my mouth? Trust me, the check’s in the mail) i’ve got video evidence! Yay fun baby video! And cut him some slack. I know it doesn’t look all that impressive his first time, but trust me (again), although it seems like he’s barely doing anything, this simple, awkward shuffle forward is atcually a big deal. It was pretty big when Y’ALL did it too. After this you had The Power Of Motion.

Hi Paul and Maja,
thank you for the video of Adam crawling. He is awesome. I cannot begin to tell you how he makes me feel. He touches my soul everytime I look at him. How exciting to see this new adventure Adam is on. Good luck mommy and daddy .. in no time he will be walking, then a bike and then a car. All in the blink of an eye. Keep those videos coming please.
Blessings and love,
Auntie P.

Yes, you have to tempt them with the right thing. In Nathan’s case it was Daddy’s glasses, juuuust out of reach. He wasn’t going to lose the chance to get his little sticky hands on those!
Mobile kids are more work, but more *fun*.

I figure that since i already have to figure out how to spend half the day with him, it more interesting tricks are definitely preferable. Plus i’m really into his figuring out the world. I will add though that the objects he wants most are the ipod, the tv remote, and the computer mouse. Is he fated to be a total tech nerd?
