Moving Day

No, we aren't moving. (We wish.)  But Ayden is.  A few days ago, Ayden took his first couple crawling "steps" (is there an actual term for that when it comes to crawling?).  He doesn't go very far before he plops back down.  Nonetheless, he is officially on the move.

I'm staring to get the hang of this crawling thing.

Watching him learning to crawl is really amazing. Over the last week and a half, each day he has seemed to figure out the next little step. Now, we have reached the point where his play blankets are essentially obsolete. We knew that time was coming. We are prepared to make the necessary cleanliness changes (keeping the floors vacuumed and mopped, not walking around in our shoes, etc.).

"Mom, Dad, these blankets you've been sticking me on just aren't going to cut it anymore."

One thing we didn't plan on: we need to either get away from the chocolate flavored - which is to say, chocolate colored - formula or we will be replacing our living room carpet (at least) at some point. No play blanket means it'll be a lot harder to keep his various throw up/vomit incidents off the carpet. And chocolate colored throw up doesn't really mix all that well with light carpet. One can only hope that he'll get this eating thing worked out - and thus be able to move beyond a solely liquid diet - before our carpet is completely ruined.

This is my new kissy face. Dad is not a fan.
