crawling

the day after he turned 7 months, 

he started to crawl.

why is it that my last baby has grown up the fastest?

he's been in size 9 month clothes for 3 months,

and had 6 teeth by the time he turned 6 months old.

slow down...

please?!

he's been doing his "downward dog" yoga pose for awhile,

but couldn't get his arms out of his bulldog stance.

we tried various motivational props--

you know, remotes, phones, keys...

all things awesome parents give their kids.

ha.

but what finally motivated him was pliers.

it was a proud moment for his daddy.

check out those meaty thighs-- 

apparently mama makes buttermilk!

 

i missed the "action" the first time, so we tried it again:

he was so proud of himself.

"i'm almost there!"

"...but i'm getting worn out."

i love my pudgy (not so) little man.
