officially crawling


Lucas finally figured out that crawling will get him places tonight. He has been kind of crawling/scooting around for the last week and even all day today but we came home tonight and put on jammies and he just took off. Maybe he finally saw something he wanted badly enough to go get himself? I don't know. All I know is that nothing is safe anymore. He is a grabber!
This picture was so funny because Grace is constantly asking Daddy for "showdas" which means she wants to get up on Buck's shoulders. The kids were in the living room alone this afternoon when I heard her repeating "showdas" over and over. She has finally taken an interest in her brother lately and her favorite things to do are: 1-dump water on his head in the bath and 2- cover him with all the blankets and pillows she can find. This is worrisome as she does not realize that she could hurt him by covering him up like that. Anyway I thought she must have been trying to get on his shoulders today so I went out to find her like this. She was sitting on the bottom half of his legs and putting a baby doll on his "showdas." He obviously didn't mind so I let it continue until he started to fuss about it. It is so cute to see them start to play together. Now that he's crawling, I'm expecting a few more fights over toys, etc.?

What a fun picture! How incredibly bright of Grace to transfer what she does on Dad's shoulders to her doll on Lucas' shoulders. It's exciting that Lucas is crawling. He has such a charming smile. I am so anxious to see you all again.

Our kids are growing up so fast! It seems like you just had Lucas. He is too cute.

Way to go Lucas! Now you will just have to chase both of them as they investigate.
