Karl Krawling

September 12, Friday

This is are little guys first real day as a crawler. He'd been trying and trying the days before, but by this day he is a real crawler. We were so proud of him when we saw that first awkward, wobbly crawl. It was so cute!

Now that he's a crawler, he can get himself  to where ever he wants to be and doesn't have to cry to Mommy or Daddy for help. He likes to crawl over to Daddy's shoes ALL THE TIME. He loves the shoelaces.

He likes to crawl over to the kitchen and be my buddy. Sometimes on the way he'll play a little game of "Where's the baby?" with me. He'll hide and then peek around the corner, then hide and peek again. He's such a tease!

Those first few days I was on my toes making sure he couldn't get into anything he wasn't supposed to. One thing we did is put our table on its side so he couldn't pull on the cords, xbox, tv, etc. I found that as he'd crawl he wouldn't see the glass and he kept bonking his head into it. So Jared helped me color all over the table with widow crayons so that Karl wouldn't bonk his head any more. It worked.

This is a video I took of his third day as a crawler. Jared was very supported of Karl and liked to get down and crawl with him. Karl definitely seems happier now that he's figured the crawling thing out. We're very proud of him. :-)
