Drew is Crawling!

If I cried and cheered this much for a simple 6 inch crawl, I can't imagine how I'll respond when he takes his first step, or when it's his first day of school, or (*gasp*) when he gets married! Derek and I play with Drew every evening and knew that he was getting close to crawling. Well, I'm happy to report that last Saturday he took his first 'army crawl' towards our iPhones. Since then, he's gone after anything and everything I think he loves the freedome of moving where he wants to now.

Derek and I are so excited for our little man to be able to get to the toys that he wants to get to instead of becoming frustrated that he can't reach them! And while I realize that a lot of babies crawl earlier than 9.5 months, I turned out ok and personally didn't start crawling until I was 12 months old. I also didn't start walking until I was 15 months and walk/run/jog just fine now. Drew beat me by 2.5 months and for that I'm happy!

That means only one thing: "Mission Babyproof" commences this weekend! Any gadget tips and tricks are welcome to keeping my baby safe in this new stage of his development!
