A Week of Developmental Milestones

You went through quite a few developmental milestones this week! On Sunday no one was around but you took a few crawls. You moved your hands forward three times and your legs forward two times. Then on Tuesday at daycare you crawled for me again twice, this time the teachers at least saw it. I have spent the past few days trying to get you to do it at home so that you could show your dad, but no such luck yet. Instead you spend most of your time getting up in the "bear" position on all fours. It is quite amusing. You have worn yourself out so much at daycare exerting effort that you have been falling asleep at 7 almost all week long. 

The next two milestones I witnessed today. I had been trying to get you to see that you were so close to being able to sit yourself back up from in the crawling position for about the past two weeks. The reason being is that you get VERY frustrated when you are in the crawling position or on your belly and you can't get yourself back up. Well baby boy.... today you did it! All of a sudden this evening I realized that you had gotten yourself up on your own. Not only did you do it once tonight, but you did it multiple times! 

Lastly, you figured out how to clap! I have been playing patty cake with you for a while now, but you always have your hands in balled fists when I do so. So I have tried to get you to open up your hands to show you how to clap. Between this and the kids at the daycare you figured it out. You came home today and just started clapping up a storm. 

Before I know it you are going to be crawling all over the place and I'm not going to be able to contain you. It's amazing how you progress in leaps and bounds all at once. I love you.
