Rowan hit a very exciting milestone today! He started army crawling!!! Dekker never even legitimately crawled with his legs, if I remember correctly. He just dragged himself around with his arms. Laela started with army crawling and moved up to speedy knee crawling in no time. Rowan has been exercising his muscles for a while already, working on his “hands and knees” stance, rocking back and forth, doing the classy ground-humping move that we all know and love. So Brady and I have suspected that crawling isn’t too far off. Just a day or two ago, we watched him stand in his crawling position and agreed that Rowan would be crawling before Christmas. Now, lo and behold, he started today!
This is certainly not the deepest of posts, but mostly just a ridiculous thought I had. Maybe all of you have had this thought. Brady figures I’m unoriginal. I think I’m hysterically witty. I think army crawling has nothing to do with the army, and much more to do with the limbs used for the crawling. As opposed to a leggy crawl. Get it?? I know, its spectacular. You don’t have to clap.
Besides Rowan’s mad army crawling morning (I think of it every time I say it now…) we spent the afternoon at Kim’s celebrating her youngest son’s first birthday! It was, as usual, a lovely time spent with her family and friends. I’ve now met all of her siblings, most of their kids, her parents, her inlaws, and lots of their friends. It was a lot of fun, and the kids did great! We hit up the city for some groceries afterwards and got home late, but the kids are all in bed, and Brady and I are winding down for the evening. It doesn’t feel like there is more weekend to come, but tomorrow is another work-free day, and I’m SO excited for it.
But first, sleep for everyone. Its been a lovely, full, fabulous day <3
