he crawls!
he's five months old and he crawls!
unheard of? probably not. amazing? for sure.
i've been putting christopher on the floor whenever i leave the room (because if i don't he has this tendancy to get off of whatever he is on... i.e. he rolls off the couch/bed). so today (five minutes ago) i put him on the floor so i could check my email and he's being pretty quiet, so i look over and he is inching his way toward the front door. he isn't using his arms yet (he puts them under his belly and just pushes with his feet) but crawling is crawling.
ah, now i get to experience life as a parent with a child that is mobile.
