Missing

David continues daily to surprise us with all that he has learned in the last 7 months.
Lately when changing his diaper, David is hard to keep still. He wiggles and turns over to his stomach. Angie saw one of her Stroller Strides friends struggle with this same issue and thought David would never go through that... wrong!
Another one of David's favorite activities is "drinking" water from his sippy cup. Really he loves to sip the water and then spit it out. After about 15 minutes of this play this afternoon David's onsie was so wet it was sticking to him, as if it were his skin.
So, Angie decided to change him, diaper and clothes, on his play mat. She was thinking his toys may keep his interest long enough to complete this task.
Well, after getting off the wet clothes Angie started on the diaper. Just as she was about to get the clean diaper on she lost the fight. Our squirmy little boy got away, and was fairly proud of his accomplishment. Normally, this would have been a frustrating moment, but when David flashes that smile he can pretty much get what he wants from his Mommy. So, what is a Mommy to do except capture the moment in pictures.




David has never been without clothes and a diaper except for in the bath. He seems to enjoy this feeling of freedom. Angie finally wrangled David back down to get his diaper on. She decided to take a break before tackling the clothes. She walked into the kitchen to discard of the dirty diaper leaving David to play.
Angie walked back into the living room and David was not where he was supposed to be... playing. Angie did a quick scan of the room and still did not see David. Upon moving a few steps further into the living room she saw him, there, behind the leather chair with the camera. No, how did he get there... did she miss it, his first crawl, maybe he rolled that way.
Gadgets seem to entice our baby boy more than his toys. Angie did what she had to do to solve this mystery, she traded him, the camera for her cellular phone.
After a few seconds of playing with it while Angie got the camera ready, Angie took it and put it across the room. And well you guessed it - David is officially a mobile little guy - he is CRAWLING! Here is his second attempt as described above - We will never know what it looked like getting to that camera.
