LOCO motion

I'm not sure I relayed the news that B has started crawling in earnest. It's amazing. He started doing this porpoise like maneuver across the floor while we were in NH. Although he could rock on all fours, he wasn't able to coordinate moving his arms and legs. Instead he lay on his belly, arched his back and thrust forward, dragging his legs behind him. Picture a whale emerging from the water and flopping down again. Well, despite looking ridculous, this was extremely effective. And then somehow or maybe inevitability this has opened the flood gates, within days B was alternating between crawling on hands and legs and belly flopping and for the last week, he has been all out crawling... everywhere. And he's fast. Very fast. Something looks dangerous and potentially like trouble, B is on the job. No place is too far, no destination not worth the trip.

Sometimes he meanders over playing a game of chase the ball with himself; other times, he is a man on a mission. And he has the memory of an elephant. His bellowing, squirming indignation is at times amusing, "What?! I'm not allowed in the bathroom, but someone has to inspect the bolts around the toilet! Who's going to do it, if not me?" And at other times, like the 15th time I remove him from the forbidden place, irritating.

I wish I had a picture with me of the B in action. But I will post one soon. In the meantime, he's started pulling up on everything. Oi.
