Gone Mobile

Noah's officially mobile!!! He started crawling last weekend and progressively increased his speed and his endurance over the last week. Noah is now moving about the house and Eric and I are scrambling to baby-proof. Why is Noah crawling so early, you ask? Well, her name is Bailey. She's Noah's favorite family member and he wanted to be able to get a bit closer to her when she is around. Noah loves his kitties and Bailey would lay next to him (just out of his reach) while he was playing on the floor. She was just too tempting, so Noah found a way to get himself over there. He started out pulling himself across the rug while sitting up. Slowly he progressed to crawling on his hands and knees. The first night he went about a yard in 10 minutes. Now he's cutting up the rug, traveling easily across the room. He's enjoying his new found freedom. He no longer whines until we let him hold our hands and walk him around the house all evening. Now he can get himself around. So far he's found that he can pull little strings off the cat scratching post, but they don't taste too good. And he loves to take out things that we have just finished putting away.

Here's a video of Noah enjoying Bailey as she walks about his room.


And of course, here's a video of Noah showing off his new achievement... crawling.
