Mr. O is MOBILE!!

For the past few months Owen has been working on doing lots of different things. Pulling to a stand, walking while we hold his hands, putting one hand in front of the other so his rocking actually gets him forward motion, and many other stages of mobility. He’s also been working on making himself go from a crawling-on-all-four’s position to sitting. This allows him to move in the complete opposite direction he was just facing. This has spurred even more forward motion. I would say since this weekend we are officially to an out and out hand over hand crawl, and between a few hand over hands and a few wiggling worm looking moves, then the spin around and sit down deal, he’s moving forward and FAST! The other night I put him in the middle of the living room floor in front of the couch…made him a bottle and came around to find him staring at me from on the backside of the couch and heading into the hallway. He actually scared me so much I jumped. He thought this was hilarious and of course laughed! I’m used to him being where I left him! I also found him sitting on the pedestal base of the fan in our bedroom…yanking on the CORD! And while getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner he crawled his way right on in from the living room to my feet at the bathroom sink.  Looks like it is baby-proofin’ time!

I like the "Mr. O" nickname. I think it could stick all the way until he's an old widower and the neighborhood kids walk by his house saying, "Hey, isn't that where Mr. O lives?" "Yep. And it looks like Old Man O is sitting on the porch."

Hope you're in good shape. They only get faster! Enjoy!!
