Our lives will never be the same after today... Joel has learned how to crawl!! He has been lurching forward for the past couple of weeks and coming closer and closer to the real event. Then yesterday he finally put one hand in front of the other just once or twice. Today he was up to four or five hand over hands movements at a time, slowly making his way across the room.
The baby proofing has begun earnestly today with electrical outlets plugged, coasters put away and anything else that we think he could get into moved out of range. There are sure to be things that we've missed and he will get into, but that's all part of the wonderful adventure of parenthood.
