here he comes, there he goes

Chris and I thought Cam would be crawling any day now for quite some time, but Cam was on his own schedule. At home, he had the two of us carrying him around and at daycare the big kids brought toys to him. Why crawl if you don’t have to? We knew he had the strength to crawl but he was still figuring that out. And we were waiting for him to sit up from laying down, knowing it would happen soon after that.

Thursday night, an hour and a half after bedtime, I looked over at the monitor to see why he was suddenly quiet and watched him sit himself up. Then he looked around trying to figure out how he got there. He did it a couple more times at 4:30 in the morning, so proud of himself that he started bouncing on his butt. Since I did not want to play his Sit Up-Lay Down game at that time he quickly figured out how to lay himself back down.

The next day he stayed home with Chris all day, who reported Cam took his first crawling steps. There were a couple more on Saturday, and longer crawls on Sunday.

I always say Cam is a ball of energy. He is on the go all day, usually bouncing, until the second he crashes. Now that he’s crawling, I think we’re all in trouble. Especially Pip.
