Mr. Precocious

So Andy took his first crawl steps about 2 weeks ago and he is proving to be more similar to his brother than we thought. Tania was first able to get Jacob to crawl by putting the remote control about 5 feet in front of him and, as a boy, you know how much he wanted it. Andy was the exact same. My brother Matt did an experiment and laid out a bunch of toys in front of Andy and the remote control mixed among them. No prizes for guess which object he went straight for.

In just 2 weeks Andy is now crawling all the way across the entire room to the point where we need to baby proof again. And just like his brother he crawls straight behind the TV in search of wires and cables. What is it with boys? The one thing that really surprised us, though, was how quickly Andy was sitting up and even ... standing! As you can see from this picture he crawls over to the toy box, dips his head in to look and then stands himself up at just 7 months. Unbelievable. I think we also forgot how many bruises and bumped heads come from this stage. Andy's new nickname - egghead. Bye for now. So glad to be back in Cali.
