Learning To Crawl

The other day we set Alex up on the couch and he started trying to crawl. He's pretty good at it, but it's hard when your head is so darn heavy.

He starts out so optimistic...
Now just move those legs a little...
...And a good push...
But those little arms just can't seem to keep up, can they?
And now we're getting discouraged...

By the end of that kind of workout, you just need to crash in Dad's arms for a few minutes...
Gee, Dad looks pretty tired too.

We had a ball last night having dinner up at our friends Robin & Anne's house. It was Anne's birthday as well as another friend Rin, and Anne cooked dinner for us all. She is a fabulous cook and we left stuffed to the gills on lamb and the best red velvet birthday cake you can imagine. We have the best bunch of friends you could hope for, and they all took such a shine to Alex, especially Alex's new girlfriends, Moriah and Marianna. [and we may have recruited some new babysitters, too!]

Andy's parents always retell the story of how he rolled himself off the couch at a couple of weeks old. Thankfully for all of us, he doesn't seem to be any worse the wear. Surprising what those little tykes can do...
