Dexter Can Crawl!

He did it! He is six months and one week old.

Just 5 weeks ago, he couldn't even really get up on his hands & knees. See?



He quickly mastered that and progressed through rocking and scooting just his legs up. A few days ago, he pivoted on his knees (picking up one hand, then the other to turn about 90 degrees before flopping back down on his belly).

Today, we finally saw independent forward movement of ALL FOUR limbs. It's all a blur now, but I'm pretty sure there were at least six independent movements. He was on the countertop (closely supervised) in our bathroom, trying to get his hands on a shiny chrome clock. Dennis and I both saw it. (Tootsie was visiting all week but missed this by about four hours. She says she is bringing Dexter one fewer toy on her next visit, but we think she'll probably forgive him by then.)

Hopefully we'll get this big accomplishment on video soon!
