Week 42 - I can get it!

Week 42 - I can get it!!
(5/30/10 - 6/5/10)


Well between last week and this week I don't know how to keep up with my little guy! He decided to EXPLODE with new milestones! My gosh the next thing I know he will be cruising the furniture, talking, walking, and going to college!!! YIKES!!!!

Andrew learned how to crawl this week and I guess he didn't really learn because honestly he has been up on all fours rocking for about 1 1/2 months, and he took about 1-2 steps crawling off and on for the past 2-3 weeks but just never took the plunge and really started crawling. I knew he was strong enough but his "need" wasn't strong enough yet and THAT is the best motivator of all for my little guy!

So what was the motivation?? Well last night he decided that he wanted a water gun of Jacob's that was put down a few feet away from him while we were outside enjoying the nice warm evening on the deck. I saw him look at it, and then of course there was the rocking on all fours, and 2 steps then sit back down routine that he has perfected the past few weeks.....but then I saw the wheels in his head turning and he got back up for round two. However, this time it didn't stop at 2 steps, 2 led to 3 then 4 until finally after his 5th step he reached his goal of the water gun!

We of course were all excited, but no more crawling happened last night. I woke up this morning determined to catch him in the act but again nothing much until he decided that he wanted something. He wanted Jacob's McDonalds Shrek toy.....and this is what happened:



All I have to say is "Jacob buddy, you know I love you, but you are in for one wild ride with your brother....you better learn to share!!!"
