We have been waiting and waiting for our little comado to finally get his legs under him and going one after the other, so I was relieved to catch him crawling across the floor today multiple times. He was always just so fast at pulling himself with his arms that he didn't really have any incentive to switch. I was starting to worry he might miss this milestone, but we found just the thing to encourage him last week... I took him outside to play in the grass, and I guess the ground was still wet. He got up on his hands and feet and just cried. Every time he tried to set himself down in the grass to scoot over to me to be picked up he would have wet prickly grass touch him. After a few seconds he started working his way across the grass completely up on his hands and feet, and loudly complaining all the way. When he got a few feet I picked him up as a reward. It seems to have gotten the idea across to him, and I am so excited. I'm also a little worried though, because watching him once impressed upon me just how FAST he is going to be in a few more days. Then nothing will be safe!
Sorry for the long time without updates. My kids would take every moment of every day if they could get away with it, and then somehow my school work has to be squeezed in. That doesn't leave a lot of time for perusing the net or any other calm activity. What all was missed in that amount of time? David has 4 teeth now, Ari can serve up a platter of sass along with the best, and Jeff just got his grades for spring back. David's hobby is crying when Mommy walks away. Ariana's hobbies include taking off her diaper, undressing baby brother, and biting unsuspecting victims. Jeff's new hobby is surfing netflix for movies to try and talk me into watching (I don't like movies much). I have no hobbies, only school... Deutsch sprecke ich jetzt auch, aber nicht sehr gut. I am still studying to pass that last German test. And I took 2nd overall in the farm game simulation for my agricultural management class (super exciting!). Finals are this coming week, and then I plan on taking a break until fall. We can't wait for summer.
