Carter turned 8 months old a few days ago, so we got some good pictures of him in his room. This month's new skills is all about crawling. He went from getting up on all fours last month to moving around the room to you can't turn your head for a second. Once he was able to move over to a piece of furniture he immediately is trying to pull up on something. He has only been able to pull himself up a couple of times at school on the crib, but he is desperate to start walking. We can lead him around the room holding his hands and he will try to walk, but isn't really close with the mechanics of it.
This shot was achieved by putting him on one side of the room and running to the other side, while frantically snapping pictures as he sprinted across the room towards me.
He is a pretty good sitter, but really isn't interested in sitting still for very long as there is so much to explore.
Sitting in his rocking chair was a nervous experience. He is very much unlike his sister in that he has literally no fear. He is not afraid to crawl right off the side of the bed or take a jump from the couch.
So I put together a little progression of Carter learning how to crawl.
This was so fun to watch!
