Every Day It's Something New...

Now that RUS has mastered army-crawling, he is literally doing something new mobility-wise every. day.

On Tuesday (that is, 4 days ago) for the first time we saw him getting up on all fours by himself and rocking. He's now getting up on all fours pretty consistently while army-crawling--he pulls his knees under himself and pushes up with his hands. Then he lets go and launches himself forward a bit. So it's not army-crawling like he's pulling himself along with his arms as much--he's using his legs so much more. We've really seen improvement every day in his skill and ability with these movements.

Today for the first time he's been able to move himself to a crawling position from sitting. He did it once almost by accident this morning when he was trying to reach a toy that was to his side. Then by afternoon he was doing it on purpose, just leaning to the side so that he could more easily get that inside leg tucked underneath.

J and I HAVE to get moving--STAT--on some additional babyproofing!!!
