Scooter

I've been smiling all week. Well since Sunday that is.  I had suspected that Ben would skip crawling and move onto scooting but it wasn't til Sunday during Sunday School that my suspicion was confirmed. He crept toward a purse of a unsuspecting class participant.  I knew he had his eye on it but I also knew he only had a few moments of want before he gave up cause he knew he couldn't move-- Instead, this time he could. Off he went to break into the purse. Halfway across the room, however he gave up in the middle of the stroll cause he found a chair of interest-- but he moved nonetheless. His burst of scooting has only lent itself to more mobility the past few days.  It is so fun to be in the bathroom doing my makeup-- and than seeing the door close on me, followed with some baby garble. He follows me whereever I go. I love it!!!

My little sis has complained that it means he doesn't want to be held as much but I'm still doing cartwheels over the whole affair. Other developments worthy of mention are he waves, claps and talks more often. This mom thing is so rewarding. To see him change and grow and develop right before my eyes-- I had no idea how exciting that is!
