Right before our eyes

I always told myself I would write this blog to document the ordinary events of our lives. The events that when taken singularly don't mean all that much but when strung together tells the story and experiences of our family.
Some posts are much more significant and/or important than others for various reasons. This post happens to be about crawling. Brenden's crawling to be exact. Literally two weeks ago he was on his hands and stomach but couldn't quite lift up his belly to go anywhere so he would roll around until he got to where he wanted to go. Effective but inefficient. Last week he started lifting up his belly and moving backwards which wasn't the direction he wanted to go which got him frustrated enough to motivate forward. This weekend.. boom! He is off full steam ahead! It's a good thing that we have just finished unpacking boxes and cleaning up the house - just in time to baby proof it. We also discovered this weekend that he has cut his first tooth. It will only be a matter of time before he is eating a T-Bone steak with us. Everyone always told me that babies grow up fast. They are right. It's only been eight months and I can't believe how much he has changed.

As usual I couldn't let you escape without a visual aid - here you go:

Watch out here he comes....
