Crawling and Clapping!

Little Man turned 9 months old on May 14th and the weekend before—on Mother's Day, actually—he started crawling. It started off slow... he'd crawl a bit, stop, then sit and look at me or Dude. But by mid-week he was crawling quickly! Here's a video of him in my office.



Besides crawling, he's started clapping.  He claps and looks around for approval.  If you say "Yay!" he claps some more and laughs! It's very fun.  So far, nine months has been quite fun!  Since I'm sharing videos, here's one of him clapping, taken the same day at my office.



Last week was somewhat hectic for me, so I didn't really update my blog.  But tomorrow, when I have a chance, I'll share some photos from my first Mother's Day.  I'm still somewhat in shock about that—I'm a mom!  I'm not sure when it will fully sink in, but after 9 months it really hasn't yet. I guess I'm still trying to come to grips with the fact that I turned 40 last month.
