About to Crawl: 7 months

You want to go, go, go. On your hands and knees, rocking back and forth, flinging yourself forward to go after a toy, a book, daddy's remote control. You are about to crawl--and with that one simple action, everything will change. Let the baby-proofing begin. Goodbye days of letting you play on a blanket while I fold laundry in the other room. Goodbye listening to you grunt and whine because you cannot reach something. The world will become bigger. You will see more. You will find more. You will touch (and taste) more and more.

Explore, my son. May our home be the first place you venture into the unknown. Let the uncharted nooks and crannies make you curious. Learn here how to tackle challenges, to overcome obstacles.

I will be here watching, knowing one day I will have to let you go.
