He Crawls

Jack has reached a new milestone. In church we use to be able to confine him to our row since we could block the only exit he knew of. A few weeks ago he learned how to bear crawl out, he would walk on his hands and feet under the pew (no knees touching the ground) and then he would continue to walk on his hands well after he was done just to make sure he cleared the bench. It was pretty amusing for us because he’d never done anything like it before and so it was a little distracting. By the next Sunday he had finally learned how to crawl on his knees. And now there is no way to contain him. People don’t mind a baby wandering under their feet right? He seems to quite enjoy crawling. He’ll be walking around just fine and then drop to the floor and start to crawl, just because he can. Then he quickly goes back to walking since it is so much faster.
Other updates:

Jack is now weaned. It’s been a long time coming so now it is over. No more eating for two, darn it. I’m missing that already. I had a bunch of breast milk stored in the freezer so I gradually mixed it with whole milk. Now he is all cow.

He is still a little boy, 25% for head and weight, 50% for height. He is 20.5 lbs, but I don’t remember the rest of the measurements, sorry. I didn’t realized how skinny he was until he was wearing a disposable diaper for his doctor’s appointment and his pants were falling off him. I forgot how much bulkier the cloth ones were.

Enough of Jack. My parents came to visit for a week in at the end of April. Amazingly, Levi’s family took a vacation the exact time my parents were here, so we got to see the sights with them instead of being confined at home. We went to the national arbouritum to see the azaleas and bonsai trees among other things, parts of various smithsonians, and spent a day in west Virginia. On the weekend when Chris could join us, we went to Mount Vernon to see George Washington’s house and plantation. It was neat, a lot more to see and do than I expected.

We welcome any visitors!
