The last week has been a "eureka" for our little Jack Thomas. As many of you know, he will be 9 months old in just 10 days. He has been sitting up, rail straight, since he was about 4 months old... he learned to roll from front to back, then from back to front... but would do so only very rarely. We weren't worried... not really. But we did wonder if Jack-the-amazing-wonder-baby was perhaps lacking in motivation to get mobile. Then, when we were least expecting it, our little man pulled a fast one. Literally. He figured out how to push up on his hands and scoot backwards. Within hours, he was backward-scooting across great distances.
SO, as of Monday, he had pulled up onto his knees and could perch on all fours. Then, yesterday, with much ado and fanfare, he started rocking. For those of you unfamiliar with the progression of man on the road to biped, this means in the next week or two we can expect a whole new world to open up for the man as he begins to officially crawl.
We will now kill the fatted sweet potato, and there shall be much rejoicing throughout the land....and much purchasing of baby gates, and electrical outlet covers, and toilet seat locks, and corner pads, and.......
