Creepin', Crawlin', and Cruisin'

Alex is unstoppable. He is the master of the tummy-on-the-floor wriggle, and it remains the most effective form of movement right now. But, he is also starting to crawl, and he's starting the pre-walking fun of "cruising." (For anyone not immersed in baby book jargon right now, that's the "holding on to things while walking" stage.) He has made it the length of the couch with this new skill. Exciting. It's really not perfected yet, as he ends up on his (thankfully, diapered) little behind every 30 seconds or so, as he tries to do the really tough skills like pick up a toy off the floor while holding on to the side of the toy box. He certainly has a way to go. But it's amazing that about a month ago, he was still having trouble sitting up!

No pictures tonight. I'm sleepy and just don't feel like it. I'll make it up to the fans tomorrow :-)

****All about Mommy news flash****
I got a teaching position at a private school for the summer. It looks like it will be a good transition back to working for me, and into the day care world for Alex, as it will only be half days. This job is also going to be nice because it's downtown, very close to where we live and to where Dan works. So, it's convenient, and we can continue with only one car. I have started looking for a good place for Alex during this time, and I'm sure we will find some wonderful arrangements.Life always works out, doesn't it?
