MOBILITY!

Our life has become a little more interesting. Little Zackary has started to become mobile!

It started with learning to roll from his stomach to his back. That was exciting for him because he did not like to be stuck on his stomach. Then he also learned to go from the back to the stomach. This combination started allowing him to roll around.

He also discovered that he liked being on his stomach after all because he started being able to lift himself up higher. Along with lifting himself up, either the front end or the back end but not both at once yet, he started to be able to scoot around. This added ability allowed him to move around the room to different toys.

For instance here he is reaching for one of his new friends (of course another monkey)

This new position also gives him a whole new perspective on one of his favorite toys.

And even stretching things a bit farther as a true overachiever might, we make sure there is plenty of practice standing too. Of course he has to hold on to something (or usually have someone hold him), and what better way to hold onto something than with your mouth?!

All this new-found mobility is nice, but it is also still very hard. It is a lot of work just to get across the blanket to a new toy. The best way to get around is still by using Daddy.
