We've got a crawler!


This is the tail-end of his first crawl. Didn't catch much, but still cute!
Then we tried again shortly after to get it on video and it didn't work too well...
Watch out puppies - we have a baby on the move! This was from the next morning...
Still working on technique and speed but regardless, we've got a mobile baby! Serious baby proofing is needed this weekend.
