Crawling, crawling, crawling...............

Keenan has been wanting to crawl for at least six weeks now. Yesterday, I was on the phone with one of my friends and former co-workers while I was watching Keenan play. It took me a moment to register that he had just taken four crawling steps. I shouted excitedly into Maja's ear "he's crawling, he's crawling." She wisely advised me to hang up and get the momentous occasion on videotape. I followed her suggestion but there was no repeat performance.

Keenan decided to hold out until Daddy, Nana and Opa were all in attendance this morning. He casually crawled across the floor, as if to say "what's the big deal?" He appeared to be baffled by all the cheering but took it in stride and made it to his goal at the time, a photo book.

Later, father and son watch "Wedding Crashers" together...........hmmmmmmmmmmm...................

p.s. Sophia has started to call Mama and Dada, Mommy and Daddy. Unfortunately, that has also made Nana become Nanny.

In the meantime, she is busying enforcing the shoes off policy in our house. As soon as someone has entered our house, she runs up and says 'please, please' while untying their shoes. Then she takes the offending shoes to their designated shoe parking place. We bust out laughing, but I think it is a little disconcerting for our guests.
