Justin has been a real sport about showing off his new talent. At therapy on Wednesday he crawled across the waiting area with all the therapists and our favorite receptionist, Melissa, hiding around the corner watching and cheering him on. He did so well during therapy too. He crawled over Miss Caroline's leg to go after a toy, and during PT he graduated to the big kids room. We have been in the baby area, where things are cleaned more stringently because of babies' tendency to put everything in their mouths. Now we are in the big gym, with lots to explore. (Miss Penny had to do a quick cleaning since Justin still has the mouth thing going.) Justin had to check it all out. So this week wasn't incredibly productive, but I know we will settle in and get our groove back. We did get a little suggestion from Miss Penny to watch his knees so they don't splay out too far when he is crawling. We need to make certain that he is using the right muscles. But right now he just needs practice.
Travis has been the proud big brother. He is telling everyone we meet that Justin can crawl, and he cheers excitedly each time. He loves prompting him to crawl and now enjoys putting things just out of his reach. Justin crawled out of the bedroom where he was sitting with daddy to come find me in the living room. He will crawl for a bit and then sit and rest, but if it's a good thing, he'll get back up and keep after it. He also resorts to the old standby of flopping down and rolling to it. That is still so cute it's hard not to laugh!
