GO SOMEWHERE!

Rogan has become more and more active. Always wanting to go, climb, move, roll, whatever. If you get within 12 inches of him, you can bet he’ll be working his way up your leg, arm, whatever is closest to him. He’s GREAT at standing. And with support he’ll walk like a champ to whatever he wants… usually it’s Bella or a toy or the tv. But he still can’t crawl. THE WORST PART: HE KNOWS IT!!! And he has learned that the way to move is to stand and walk there with help or be held and carried to the destination. So when there is nothing around him to pull up on or no mom/dad to help him walk to where he wants to go… whining ensues. He has figured out that being on his stomach gets him no-where, so he whines wanting to stand up. He does still attempt to crawl when he’s sitting, he lunges about 12 inches, then get tangled in his legs and falls on his belly. Then he proceeds to kick his legs as forcefully as he can in mid air (think superman)… wanting to move, but, of course, failing. Realizing he’s not moving… more whining. I know once he is able to move on his own he will be WAY more work… but I’m totally looking forward to it.

We broke out the walk ‘n ride last night… he was so happy. It’s a really cool contraption, it kinda looks like a tricycle, but without a seat so he can just walk between the 2 back wheels, holding onto the front for support. But the back 2 wheels can also lock together, creating a seat, so he can sit and push himself (or be pushed). He had so much fun with it last night.
