We hit another milestone - CRAWLING!!

After quite a hectic week, it was such a pleasant surprise to see Leonidus crawl for the first time ever on June 10th, 2009. While away at work on Wednesday, I get a call from Neil who tells me LJ JUST CRAWLED!! I was super excited and couldn't wait to get home to see our little tyke crawl. When I left work, LJ was over at my mom's office getting TONS of attention from her and her coworkers. He was working the room. I wanted to put him down right there to see the crawling in action but decided to wait. My mom and I then took LJ to the park where he swang his heart out on the swing. He's been making all sorts of new baby sounds the past couple of weeks and while on the swing he laughed this new way that melted my heart away. IT WAS SOOO CUTE!!!
Finally, once I got home and settled, Neil and I took LJ up to our room and layed him on the floor. He was a bit hesitant at first so Neil decided to show me a new trick that LJ learned. He sat LJ down by a drawer and opened the drawer. LJ sat there and pulled our shirt after shirt and screamed with excitement after each one. Can this kid get any funnier??
Once he was done playing, we layed him down again and tempted him with some toys a few feet away. Low and behold, he got on his knees, did a few "get-ready" pumps and crawled and then finished off with a nice face plant into the carpet. HOORAY!!
Moments like this make me so happy, proud and sad at the same time because these are times that you will cherish for a lifetime but will never be a FIRST again. My baby is growing up. I can't believe my 7.5 month old is crawling. I feel like it was just yesterday....
