Silly crawling kid

Double B seems to be enjoying the new-found skill. His favorite game goes like this: say something funny, show off silly tricks, crawl a little, sit and talk some more then tackle and climb Mom or Dad. While Ben obviously loves all these new motor skills, we are frantically looking for the right baby gate solution.

Way to go, bud!

We think it's totally cool that Ben says 'mama'. But it's even cooler that he now actually addresses it to Mom...consistently. Needless to say, Mom is thrilled!

M...N...

As if today wasn’t exciting enough with the crawling and preparation for moving, Double B decided to make some new consonants and sounds to distract stressed-out Mom and Dad. He’s been doing “da da” and a bunch other sounds lately. But this afternoon, to Mom’s joy and excitement, he went “mama, mama” and has been playing with the sound since. He also enunciated the N today as well, repeatedly saying “na na”.

Two consonants just minutes apart!! It was a good day for Big Ben.

The real thing!

Double B has been giving us teasers here and there for a little while now lifting himself up while alternating with army crawl. But today, in celebration of the birth of this great nation, he decided to crawl. Just like that. At the new place we are moving into. It's as if he had been doing it for a long time. He still enjoys the army crawl but seems to be more and more willing to lift his tummy above the floor.
