Crawling!

A long, long time ago, a month and 3/4 to be exact, Boston started crawling. 6 days before Boston turned 9 months old I was talking to my mom on the phone and complaining that Boston couldn't crawl yet. He wouldn't even army crawl. He would just get into the crawling position and rock. I was telling my mom I was so worried because this had been going on for months and he just wouldn't advance! My mom laughed and told me he was fine and it hadn't really been as long as I thought. She also told me I would be regretting it once he could crawl. I didn't believe her.

4 days before Boston turned 9 months we watched our neighbor girl. She is a few months older than Boston and was cruising around the house crawling. Boston stared at her the entire time she was here, bending all the way over to keep his eyes peeled to her.

3 days before Boston turned 9 months. I set Boston down on the floor of the living room to play with his toys while I did the dishes. A couple minutes later I heard the the x-box chime on. The x-box was at least 5 feet away from where I left him. I came running into the living room, not only had Boston crawled to the x-box but he had also opened the dvd player and lifted himself to standing by way of the disc holder! The disc holder would no longer slide back into the dvd player.  Talk about a baptism by fire into the life of a crawling boy!

Here is a little video of him crawling when it was still new.
