Passover Rollover

Among the big news of cousins visiting, Easter poultry, super fun, aunts and uncles, eggs and afikomens, matzahs and face painting, the biggest news of all was that you, Julia, are now an ambi-turner!

You roll from back to tummy, then tummy to back, then repeat until you've scooted nearly across many a floor!

Sometimes you have company in your pursuits...

And sometimes you do it alone...

You're growing up so fast and while we celebrated Passover, we were also celebrating Roll over! You're mobile! You can (kinda) go where you want to go! And it's amazing to watch!

You're literally on a roll, young lady, and we are so proud of you and your new-found independence! Proud parents; keep on rolling.

Ramp Up to Month 8: Legend of the Crawl

So, you're officially 8 months old already!

But, your 7th month turned out to be very productive because...you learned how to crawl!

It didn't happen over night, that's for sure!

Remember how it looked when you "crawled" (or scootched) back in early October?

Well, you've gotten far better at it since then!

Here's you mid-month kinda perfecting that crawl but then kick your legs up under you technique, which is pretty useful, as you can tell:





And here's you just before your 8th birthday, really cruising!



You're Crawling!!!!


We're so super proud of you Aidan and would celebrate for real, but we're too busy scrambling to put little plastic plugs in all of the electrical outlets!

You're 8 months old and you can officially crawl!

Going Mobile

For a while now you've been going pretty nutso for your mother's and my cell phones! You like to eat phones and twirl them around in your hands. They're just the right size for you to hold! There's pretty much no toy in the world that is as consistently makes you as happy as a cell phone (simple pleasures, I guess!)

So, we decided to combine your love of cell phones and your burgeoning mobility to see how far you'd be willing to go to get to your favorite toys.

And the results were amazing!



You're not quite crawling yet; this is still technically "scootching" (that's the techincal word). But it's incredible to see how far you've come, how much you've grown and how mobile you become when there's a mobile phone on the line!
