Here Comes Trouble!

Noah crawled around nine months. Jonah crawled at ten months. Our little overachiever Micah started crawling yesterday on his eight month birthday. These are the sounds coming from our house this morning:

No, you can't have that.
How did you get over there?
No, Jonah! You can't ride on the baby!

Oh what fun we are going to have now! Although I am excited for this milestone (Hopefully his new found independence will give me a bit of relief from having him attached to my hip 24 hours a day), I still can't help but feel as if I am losing a little more of my baby every day. They just seem to grow up much too quickly.

Crawling (Sort Of)

And he finally crawls! Well, maybe crawling is not the correct term, but at least he is mobile. I was beginning to wonder if Jonah was ever going to do anything besides roll to where he wanted to go. He loves to hold on to things and walk along them, but never wants to get down on the floor to crawl. He will be 10 months old tomorrow and today is the first day that he has even attempted anything resembling a crawl. He looks like he is part crab. He puts both hands on the ground, balances on his left knee, and pushes with his right foot flat on the ground. It is very funny to watch, but it gets him where he wants to go. He was pushing Noah's tractors and trucks all around the living room today. Along with crawling came the words I have been dreading to hear; "Mom, Jonah has the truck that I want to play with!"
