otto in action

wanted to get a video of otto on the blog for posterity's sake. check him out crawling, pulling to stand, and doing a little bit of dancing.

Mobile Baby

How excited is Greta to be able to get around at full crawling speed?



Here it is in all its belly off the ground glory:

crawling!

greta crawled today. and i mean belly off the floor, on her hands and knees, full on crawling. too bad joe and i were busy doing Paint the Town and weren't there to see it! greta had her first sleepover at grandma joan and grandpa bill's on friday night and then spent the day there while joe and i were busy painting. the day was a great day for everyone....at Paint the Town, the exteriors of 47 homes were painted in Covington. at grandma's, greta achieved a major milestone!! she also went for a walk, ate some big girl applesauce, and played in the pool with her cousins roman and shamus. luckily, greta was able to crawl on command for me that night and for joe the next morning to show us what she can do! and now she's crawling like crazy, with an occasional lazy moment where she plops onto her belly for the army crawl.

gettin' curious

here's greta, looking guilty as ever as she attempts to either change the channel or pop in a DVD.

moving around

we have yet to capture it on film yet, but greta is getting more and more mobile everyday. she continues to roll like crazy, but has also started pushing and pulling herself around on the floor. she will be sitting up and then will lean forward so that she is on her hands and knees. she then will either push herself with her feet/legs or pull herself in a sort of army crawl. she also sort of rocks back and forth while she is resting on all fours. she hasn't yet figured out to get both her arms and legs working at the same time. i think that would be considered crawling, and then we're in real trouble.
