How Michael has changed

Michael has been changing so much over the past few months. It is fun to look back and see how he has changed. This is particularly nostalgic to me as I think of my mom and family in Wyoming who haven't seen Michael since June. Since then he has learned to roll over (from back to tummy and tummy to back), sit, scoot, and now crawl (wahoo!); not to mention the giggling, gurgling, eating and hand control he has mastered. It's hard to believe that time could fly this fast. Here are some pictures that I took in June to compare to now. He is sitting in our nice big brown chair. He sure has chunked up a bit.

Michael and his almost crawl

So, Michael hasn't quite figured out how to crawl yet, but he is sure exploring the use of his legs. Not only has he been able to push up to his hands and knees, he can push up to his hands and feet. I'm not sure how this is easier than crawling, but it appears to be so, for he doesn't crawl but pushes up instead. I've been very impressed by his strength, persistence, and incredible patience as he begins this new stage in his life.
