on the move

Champ has gone to sleep, however he didn't go down without a fight. I finally got the chance to download the pictures from my camera so attached are some long overdue pictures of the little guy.

Friday night. Friday night has become a bit of a ritual here. With family so close, we have a standing Friday night visit. This invitation is casual, at best, and involves drinking beer, eating dinner and usually watching whatever Bravo reality show we are following at the time. A couple of weeks ago we were all having a relaxing end to the week and Champ as always was joining in the conversation over dinner. Note: the attire was chosen to show his support for the baseball team, who was in the regional at the time.


Following dinner we were cleaning up in the kitchen. Champ was playing on the ground under our feet. Up to this point, he could "worm" his way around on his belly, but if he got to his knees, he would just rock. That night, with an audience, he started to shuffle his knees under him. As the great parents that we are, we pulled out the camera and egged him on to keep trying the new moves. Champ did learn to crawl and he hasn't slowed down since.


Well the night was so much work, he ended it as only he knew how.


Hope everyone has enjoyed the story of how the crawling began and the photos that accompany it. We have had a relaxing weekend after working for the past 2 weeks straight (including the weekend). Now to get ready for the next one...
