King of the Crib

Oh boy - batten down the hatches! Ben's (almost) on the move! About a week ago Ben, from sitting position, pulled himself up in the crib! Yikes! This weekend, J.R. made sure to lower the crib mattress. When finished, we put Ben in the crib to make sure the mattress was low enough. This is a picture of our findings...

Pretty cute, hey? Look at his face... "I'm King of the crib!". Hehe. He stayed like that for quite a while too. I think we pulled him out of the crib so he didn't have a chance to realize that he didn't know how to get down. I had him standing on the floor in front of Chloe's couch, and he was standing by himself, but for grabbing onto Chloe's leg (Chloe was on her couch). That was all yesterday. Today, he made progress on crawling. He's getting a bit frustrated when on his hands and knees. He wants to move! He's moving his knees up, but doesn't move his hands so he's not going anywhere. Although, he did move backwards just a touch. I think he'll be crawling by the end of the week!!
