my nephew

[ecologygirl]

I talked with Mom today on the phone, who informed me that my nephew Jayden (8 months old) has learned to crawl. Except the genius kid can only crawl backwards. That's right, he hasn't figured out how to propel himself forwards. Even funnier is that when he's playing with an adult on the floor, he's all happy and smiles, and scoots himself backwards. He becomes less happy the further he gets from the adult, but keeps moving backwards until he ends up stuck in a corner or under a table, at which point he cries until he's rescued.

I really wish I was home with my family to see this newly discovered adorableness.
