Who Crawled???

Kate crawled clear across her bedroom to the hall this week. She has been working on crawling for a few weeks. It started as rolling, then up on her knees, then pushing off with her feet into a tripod, then pushing forward, now one foot, one arm, then the other foot and the other arm. Incredible if you think about it. Max is up to pushing forward. A few more weeks and he will be on his way!


We started finger foods - so far bananas and tofu. I do not even like tofu but thought I would give it a try. Kate just pops it in her mouth like she has been doing it for months. Max plays with it on the tray. The first day he let me put a piece of banana on his tongue, but then he just sat there with his tongue hanging out of his mouth until I took the banana piece off. Then I put the same banana piece on a spoon and he opened big and happily agreed to eat the piece of banana. I tried the same process with tofu, he closes his mouth tight and I can not get anything in or out. On to cheerios...


Every week "playing" with each other seems to get more sophisticated. Now they will look at each other and scream, one then the other, until they giggle. So cute to watch. Today, Kate attempted Peek-a-boo with Max which they both found to be hilarious.
