My Crawling Machine

When Lia was about six months old, I was given the gift of an idyllic two months where she sat contently on her blanket playing with toys for many minutes at a time before she moved into the crawling stage.  I foolishly assumed that this would be the same with her brother.  Oh, how wrong I was.  Instead of working on sitting proficiently, Logan decided to just skip right over this phase and get to the crawling!   Sometime around the middle of August, he started to take a step or two while standing on "all fours."  Over the course of the next few weeks, a few steps turned into many steps (with a belly-lay in between) and now we have a crawling machine!  He is now nonstop and the thought of sitting passively on a blanket playing with toys holds no interest for him.  In fact, he still can't even sit for very long without tipping over onto his side or leaning over onto his hands.  He is definitely all boy!

 

Logan, poised and ready to go!

 

Pausing briefly to allow mama to take a quick picture.

 

 

And, he's off!

 

There is just no stopping this crawling machine.
