Crawling, Crawling Everywhere!

It's official, Cutie Pie is a crawler! He can go just about anywhere he wants. If Mommy walks into another room, Cutie Pie follows her, laughing all the way. He seems very excited about his new found mobility. He has already discovered that he can fit his arm behind the entertainment center and grab the cable cords.

When he crawls, he gets really excited to be moving so he giggles and gurgles the whole time. If my visual attention is focused elsewhere I can usually tell that Cutie Pie is moving and in which direction he is going. I suspect though, as he gets more used to crawling, that he will soon enter stealth mode and I will have to keep my eyes on him at all times.

I wish Cutie Pie could have taken a little more time to break me in but it seems that crawling is only half of his newest accomplishments. Cutie Pie is pulling up on everything sturdy enough to grab onto. Unfortunately, once he gets up he doesn't yet know what to do next. So, he usually falls and often bumps his head on the way down.

Cutie Pie got a little bruise on his face from the leg of the dining room table. I was quite proud of myself. I didn't get upset or emotional. I didn't consult my baby books about head injuries or hematomas. I just hugged my baby until he felt better and moved along with my day. I guess Mommy is growing up too.
