It is such an exciting time around here! Evan is now crawling (today he made it from the hall to the bedroom with a little encouragement from Daddy, Mommy & Sammy)!!! We've been waiting for this for a while as he's almost 10 months old, but figured he'd do it when he was ready. And we were right. It is so adorable to watch him move around independently. As you can see, he also can walk with his push walker.
He comprehends lots of vocabulary and will look for and locate objects that he knows. I can also reason with him a little and distract him because his comprehension keeps getting better. He also says "ba" for ball and bottle and baby and balloon. He probably thinks that words only start with "ba" since so many early words start with that sound. BUT, he does discriminate and say "pu" for puppy. That's what he gets for having a speech pathologist for a mommy. Life is going to be totally different for us in the next few days as he becomes more comfortable with crawling...I don't think I'm really prepared. Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
His new favorite thing to do is open and close and empty out his dresser drawers.
Looking a little apprehensive here, but just wait...
We taught him how to shake his hands above his head to "celebrate" and since he has had his 1st ear infection this week, he now grabs his ears. Boohoo.
But, that pink stuff really does the trick and he's almost back to his old self.
Love the bed head in this pic!
