We have had a pretty busy couple of weeks. Braydon is all over the place. On Friday, April 16 I was busy getting ready for work. Braydon has been really been close to crawling for about a week. I was leaving on Monday for California for a week of work and I was really worried that he would start without me. Well that morning, he decided it was time. I was in the bathroom blow drying my hair and he decided he needed to come see what I was doing. I ran and got the video camera and he performed again. He crawled about 2 feet and he was done. I wasn't sure if he had figured it out or just a one time deal.

That afternoon Braydon and I went to go see Great Aunt Shirley in the hospital and Braydon was playing on the floor. Grandpa Lumpy decided to see if he could crawl. We put a book out in front of him and he took off after it. this time he was definitely crawling! Who would have thought his first trip to Boone would be so productive.

Since Friday he has been crawling around everywhere! He enjoys crawling to the kitchen and playing with the magnets on the refrigerator, crawling to the window and hitting the glass, and of course crawling to the basement and tipping over Wrigley's dog bowl. He has finally figured out how to crawl on the hardwood - its pretty funny how slippery it is.

He also pulls himself up on everything. Every morning when I go to get him, he is usually standing up in his crib smiling from ear to ear.
