He's on the move!

Gavin is on the move! He started crawling about 2 months ago and he is all over the place. He is getting in to everything and absolutely loving it.

This picture isn't as good as video, but if you look closely you can see that his knee is around one of those little posts. He was crawling and had this stuck to him for about 15 feet. He didn't seem to mind. He had somewhere to go and just kept going.
We try to keep him out of our kitchen area. We came up with a bunch of different ideas for obstacles to keep him away, but he somehow found a way through all of them.

We eventually just had to get a gate. Much easier. (Except for when Andrew trips over it!)

He is also able to pull himself up and walk along furniture.

He is becoming more confident and will stand on his own for a few seconds. Yesterday he learned a new trick and he loves it! I have a feeling it won't be long before he is walking!



He also does it with the stroller now too!


As a side note, I no longer let him do this because of the constant screaming that ensues. Whenever he runs in to a wall or gets stuck he just lets out the dinosaur like scream that you can hear on the video.

ha ha love it! Looks familiar! Be happy you don't have stairs (OK maybe you do), but the stairs are driving me crazy right now:) But we practice lots so I don't have to keep the gates up forever.

He does sound a bit like a pterodactyl!
