We Have a Crawler and MORE!

Andrew has been officially crawling for almost a week. Last Wednesday he crawled 5 full crawls in a row and did it a few times a day before falling on his belly to scoot for the rest of the week. As of yesterday, he scoots no more. We may see it occasionally I am sure but I doubt we’ll see it much again. Our Scooter is a Crawler!
And you know Mommy loves that for so many reasons! Sure he’s getting places faster and we have to stop him from trying to get under our desks more, but he is no longer cleaning the floor with his tummy! He’s now topless at home on nice days and how cute is that! A diaper only baby crawling around on the floor is truly a sight to behold.
But that is not all folks…
He is also pulling himself up. He’s been pulling up on low things like 6 inches or lower for a couple of weeks, but he is now pulling up on everything. Yesterday he was getting to his knees and now today he is standing. Still hasn’t mastered it but by the end of the day I bet he will. Next stop cruising and then walking! He could very well be an 8th month walker like his Mommy!
He has always loved standing. We used to stand him up when he was upset to stop him from crying! Now he can do it himself.
Oh sure there will be falls and spills. He has already fallen – in fact right after this video was taken he fell. But he is a tough guy and can handle it well. Usually with a little cuddling from Mommy or Daddy.
We caught on video the second time he ever pulled up all the way on something:



There will be another video to come soon from when we went to Grandma’s house and he was laughing at her cat, Manfred. That one is adorable too, he has the sweetest laugh!
