Firsts: hold on tight, we are CRAWLING!

With practice came perfection! After much awaited time, whether I like it or not, Mr. Ryatt Michael is mobile folks.

In the beginning he would scoot-scoot -scoot, using his arms to pull forward and his leg to lunge. Then from seated position he started to reach for toys and inadvertently getting into crawling position. It was kinda tricky for the boy to get moving, sometimes slamming his face into the floor. Thats when we decided that a padded floor mat was probably a good idea. Hahaha so needless to say, he has learned to transition from sitting to scooting and back to sitting. And the evolution continues! Scooting slowly turned into crawling on his knees. Now hes EVERYWHERE! Ryatt is fascinated with the floor fan- big no no- and the kitchen floor mats, the blinds are interesting too and dont forget how much fun it is to throw all the DVDs everywhere.  Ill put him down in the living room with his toys so that I can take two steps over to grab something, when I return hes gone! He has scooted/crawled over to the other side of the room! As you can imagine, I dont really get a moment to sit down if the beast is unleashed LOL Soon this lil rug rat will be walking...oh god....hes thinks hes pretty awesome at pulling his self up on things to stand. I cant wait (or I can) to see how impressed he is when he discovers he can walk along while holding and then let go some.
Speaking of walking- today he had Rowdy and I in stitches watching him in his walker. Ryatt had the small laundry basket wedged in the side of the walker and he was swinging a fly swatter around. He was flailing it around hitting the washer and laughing at the bang. Then he would try to move around, still swinging the swatter, and taunt the dogs. (who are petrified of the swatter AND the walker) hahahahaha he was having a ball! and we were loving it!

well, off to bed we go. tomorrow is another adventure :o)
