Baby Tornado

When we first told Elizabeth that she was going to be a big sister we asked her if she wanted a baby brother or baby sister. Her response was, "I want a baby tornado!" I think she got her wish. Patrick started crawling over a month ago when he was just 6 months old, and now that he's all of 7 months he has decided it's time to pull up on EVERYTHING. If it moves, even better. He'll push it along and walk behind. Diaper changes are wrestling matches. I've stopped using the changing table since he usually ends up hanging upside down off the side as I hold on to an ankle and try to grab wipes. Such fun!

So here are a few videos of his progress. The video of him crawling in and out of the bottom of the saucer was actually the first time he ever did that. He has become much more efficient, and it has actually become one of his favorite hide outs.

Obviously, there have been birthdays, holidays, and milestones galore since my last post. Maybe when/if my little tornado stops spinning quite so fast I'll catch up...

Since there are three "clips" I will offer three observations:

1) I'm puzzled at the green saucer-like thing. It reminds me of a Japanese toy tea house. If you are thinking about sampling the Buddist deal I would advise you to keep this r-e-a-l quite in your household. Wriggling skills will come in handy later on when you are trying to get in or out of some window after curfew;

2)Speed crawling! This is another good skill to have. Later, speed crawling will matriculate into speed groveling which will be a genuine necessity in a matriarch household;

3)Your house seems to be filled with the most wonderful toys! Imagine a table that also serves as a walk training device! All that table needs is a bell or horn to alert others that TLC is on the move.
