Baby Crawl-iel
So this last Saturday after I got back from class at Team Quest, I was sitting on the couch, eating some lunch, and I looked down and Ezekiel was trying to pull himself around the carpet. He was failing miserably, but it was awesome to watch him problem solve and get frustrated.
And just as quickly as he started ‘trying’ to crawl, Ezekiel is now crawling around! Now it might not look like much, but two days ago he couldn’t just push himself up onto his hands and knees whenever he wanted. I was talking to Jenelle on the phone today and I could hear Zeke in the background chatting away, and she told me he had crawled over to his toy basket, tipped it over, and was going through it like he was looking for something important. Tonight was the best display so far.
His thing is, he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth. For whatever reason that’s how Ezekiel’s little brain has figured out how to get his knees underneath him better. As far as walking out his hands, well, that’s not as graceful, but as you can see… If he sees something he wants, he’s going for it! In this clip he crawled a little over six feet to the shiny light up keyboard. Funny thing is, he hit the button perfectly to shut off the video.
It definitely hit me, and really sunk in for the first time tonight… My once little, helpless, eating/sleeping/pooping/crying baby boy, is now laughing/ticklish/smiling/chatty/ raspberry-blowing/excited-to-see-you-when-you-come-home/playful/jonny-jump-up-using/teeth-sprouting/crawling/growing boy who is seven and a half months old already.
