Workin' On the Crawl

Somebody has decided it is time to make forward movement! He isn't full-on crawling just yet, but the foundation is there. Seems like he gets more coordinated by the hour.

Apologies for the second one being so dark. I plopped him down and started recording before turning all of the basement lights on.

Thanks! He IS working so hard--he has become quicker, but is still doing more of a belly crawl than a hands-and-knees crawl. He can move, though--he gravitates towards electrical cords and dog hair, both of which he puts into his mouth. :/

The World According to Lew

1. Do not eat peanuts and breastfeed Lewis. Puke city. Peanut m&ms, thankfully, are safe.
2. Sometimes he just needs to burp.
3. Do not place in swing or on tummy directly after eating. Puke.
4. He will sleep through the dogs barking most of the time, thankfully, since we happen to have the World's Loudest Dogs.
5. His strength can amaze.
6. Similarly, his smile can melt.
7. Breastfeeding isn't necessarily easy at first, but if you're willing (and able) to make it work, together you can. With help, support, and some tears.

8. Joining a new mom group has been unexpectedly helpful for both of us.

9. A beer a day can do wonders.

10. A pacifier is a helpful tool.

11. Beans are also out. See #1. But replace puke with gas (duh).

12. Pasta with marinara sauce caused baby spewage, twice...perhaps the acidity in the tomatoes? I'll abstain for now. Update: It is Bertolli alfredo sauce.

13. There is apparently a 10 pound weight limit to the fabric hammock in the infant bathtubs. I unfortunately discovered this as he weighed like 14-15 pounds and the seams started ripping apart. Bummer.

14. Now that he is mobile, he is obsessed with power cords and dog toys.

15. Hair pulling. Ouch.

16. It is really hard to get in the habit of brushing his teeth twice a day.

17. I love him more every day.

18. Watching him feed himself and/or drink all by himself makes me smile. It hasn't yet gotten old or any less cute.
