The Crawling Suitcase

Shane learned to crawl this week. He prefers the military crawl as opposed to the traditional hands and knees method. Its a little screwy to watch, but it gets him from point A to point B. Luckily he doesn't crawl at top speed yet, but he is still pretty fast.

Fast enough to find a penny on the floor this morning and choke on it. I got it out with a little belly squeeze, but it wasn't a great start to our day.

Yesterday I went upstairs to get some toilet paper and Shane crawled into the laundry room. John found him in there with the door closed and he was kicking the door with his feet. John said that he thought that I was locked in the laundry room and was freaking out. Later the other boys insisted that Shane closed the door himself! Yeah, I'm not so sure about that one!

Sammy is a little freaked out about Shane crawling and getting all of his stuff. He keeps saying "No, baby!!!". Yesterday he tried moving Shane out of his way by grabbing a hold of his pajamas like it was the handle on a suitcase. He kept walking by with his Shane suitcase and saying "No, baby" over and over again. My poor baby suitcase!

I used my video camera to get a video of Shane crawling and it was a disaster. Sam was so jealous that I was trying to get a video of Shane and not him that he kept popping into the video and saying "hi" just as Shane would start crawling and then I would miss it! Talk about needing to be the center of attention! Hello Broadway!

My little guy is growing up so fast. He will be 1 year old in a little over a month! We are loving every minute with him...well I don't know about Sam, but I sure am!
