I can't believe no one told me how fast babies can move even before they start crawling. Jordan and Kristian are scooting and dragging themselves around so much the poor kids should be wearing knee and elbow pads. This has created a new game in our household....catch that baby!
Friends and family would often watch as first Jordan and weeks later Kristian learned to push up on their hands and elbows..then they learned to get into the crawling position...and I've heard over and over again "I can't wait for them to start crawling" in my head I often thought, I can wait! After all I knew I'd be chasing two babies who undoubtedly would be headed in opposite directions probably for something we'd like for them to stay away from. So far they're only rocking back and forth on all fours and lunge themselves forward with any attempt to crawl, but boy can they scoot. Jordan can be across the room in the time it takes you to reach for a diaper. Kristian is a little slower ( at aboout 3 pounds more than Jordan he has more weight to move around  ) but don't underestimate him. If he sees something he wants, like a remote, cell phone, or piece of paper on the floor, he can dart for it too.
So we are babyproofing BIG TIME this weekend. We already had to lower the crib mattresses because Jordan debuted his new trick the other day. He can pull himself up to a standing position in his crib. I keep waiting for him to be there waiting for us at our bedroom door one morning. We're now playing that game all parents play...anticipate their next move...protect them from potential danger...and by all means CATCH THAT BABY!!!!!
