Logan is crawling around the house.

I wish I could say exactly when he started. Heidi and I had been waiting for Logan to start crawling for several months. I was worried about it - why wasn't he crawling? Was something wrong? What did it mean? I remember we went to a couple of PEPS group meetings where Heidi and I sat nervously looking at all of the other kids crawling around while Logan sat in one spot.

Anyway, with all of that you would think we would have made a big deal about Logan crawling. Or that I would at least have memorialized the moment with a post. No such luck! It just happened one week. At first he was leaning over on his hands to grab toys, and that evolved into crawling over the course of a week and a half. Th magic moment came when Logan figured out how he could go from sitting to crawling and back to sitting. He's always hated lying on his stomach - he just needed to figure out how to get out of that position.

So now he's crawling. He goes from the living room to his favorite rooms - the bathroom and the kitchen. Doesn't want to try the stairs yet, and he seems to stay out of the study.

Babyproofing is now the order of the day. Gotta get on it. I've put a magnetic lock on the kitchen sink doors, and I've placed a barrier in front of the laundry chute. That's it for now.
