A month ago I came to the realization that my little boy had become mobile. He would roll and wiggle to get where he wanted to be. Two weeks ago I caught him in the crawl position looking ready to go. One week ago I smiled as I watched him crawl... backwards. Three days ago I knew for sure that from now on life is going to be Will on wheels! He is moving and crawling.
As with all things, Will does not like to show off his new found skills for people. When he first rolled over I was the only person he rolled in front of for almost a month! So, with crawling, he stays perfectly still most of the time that anyone is looking at him. Then, as soon as heads are turned, he zooms. Look up to gaze at a TV show, look down and discover the baby is on the other side of the room. Look up to talk to a rambunctious 6 year old, look down and discover the baby is back again.
He also has an amazing understanding of object permanence. If I put his giraffe in his car seat he will crawl to the car seat to grab the giraffe. If I put his pacifier in my pocket he will grab at my pockets for it. He is a nipple seeking missile no matter how many layers of clothing I wear. And now, he is crawling over to the cabinet where we store his toys, opening the doors, pulling out the bins and then playing up a storm! That, my friends, is one awesome little seven month old!
