The Crawling Machine!

So Kayden has been crawling for a few weeks. He's graduated from the belly / low / Army crawl and now he MOVES! He picks his belly & legs up once in awhile. Here he is this morning, from start to finish. He always starts just sitting there and then face plants to the ground, luckily on this video he caught himself before smacking his face. Then he just cruises over to the pile of "bribes" I had for him. He picked the remote this time! Enjoy...I've been enjoying making sure all my stuff is picked up off the floor, and the outlets are all covered! As Eric says, I can't leave piles anywhere anymore. I think he's excited about that.

Crawling

SO yesterday - Kayden decided to crawl for the first time....he had just about been there. Even in CA, he was so close. Its not a full out crawl, its the "low crawl" or Army crawl. Its pretty cute - I have the video on our camcorder, and will post soon. Our little man is mobile...I think a certain someone should get a gate up...not throwing names out there.....Eric.
