We're in trouble now!

Charlie has now perfected the "army crawl" and is regularly making his way around the family room to objects he should not be touching. A barrier was quickly constructed to keep him from pushing all of the buttons on the receiver and DVD player, and to keep him from the computer keyboard that sits under the TV.

He's still a little slow moving around, since he's only using his right hand and his left elbow to drag the back half of his body around, but he does get places.

Charlie's clapping ability is also getting better by the day. He hasn't yet figured out that clapping is a positive reaction to events-- he seems to do it whenever he's stimulated emotionally (good or bad). It's quite strange to see him fussing and frowning and clapping at the same time!

Charlie had his first Cheerios a little over a week ago. They gave him some at daycare instead of his usual babyfood puffs. He seemed to like them alright.

Charlie and Lucy continue to get along well. Lucy is amazingly tolerant of Charlie's tugs and pokes. She even walked over and laid her head in his lap the other day.

Tomorrow is a day off for both John and I, so we'll be enjoying an extra day with the little guy before heading back to work.
