Crawling

My Bear boy has been crawling since August 28, the day he turned 8 months. He is still not fast. He plods along, plunking his palms on the ground loudly.

Bear does not like to be alone. I thought crawling would help with this. When people aren't near, instead of wailing as though his heart will break, he can just crawl to go get them. Well, he does crawl to go get people, but he still wails as though his heart will break, while crawling, all the way down the hallway.

He pulls himself up to stand all the time, and he isn't afraid to let himself down again to sit. Zuzu was. She would get trapped in a standing position and we had to rescue her. Bear sometimes doesn't even mind if he bonks his nose or something on the way down.

He wants everything. And he does seem to enjoy things when he gets them.

Zuzu has entered a new and vibrant world of imaginative play. Suddenly, her toys are all alive. And she could play with them ALL DAY. And she can't understand why anyone would do anything besides play with toys.
