And he's off!


 Well all our efforts paid off. Little guy has been mobile for a few weeks now, it didn't take long. Turns out, he had everything physically he needed, just needed the right motivation. And we tried it all, I tried the attention thing, where I would play with Eve just out of reach to see if he would attempt to join us. Nothing.
So then we tried putting his favorite toys just out of reach, to see if that would work. Nope, just sat there looking at them. We tried putting his pacifier just out of reach, and no reaction. Then, it hit me. Food. Those little Gerber "puffs" were placed out of reach. And VOILA! He suddenly wanted to get going. He started out doing a little move we call the "side stroke". It really looks like the swimming side stroke. He would roll on his side, extend his arm, and shuffle up with his foot. I sadly did not get this on video, it's much funner seeing it in person. But he only did this for about a week, then his method of transportation evolved.
