Here is Brigham just after he started crawling. He was 8 months old then. He was off on a mission to find something.
He was often seen crawling with his head down until he got to where he was going. I thought it was funny. Savannah probably did it too I just don't remember.
The day he started crawling was also the day he started furniture walking. By the time Savannah was this age she was walking. But she didn't have as big a head to carry around either. So he just goes by leaps once he has figured it out.
He is so proud of himself. He got the game! He is now 10 months old and this week he has started taking steps on his own to get to places. Now I have a walker! He is also quite the stair climber. I don't think I have any pictures, but he will get up the stairs no matter what. We haven't had a gate because since we moved here we really haven't needed one. When we watched Liam we just barricaded the stairs with the banana chair. That was all I needed. With Brigham we have used the banana chair - he figured out how to go around - we added the hot wheels at the end to block - he figured out how to lift it up and push it out of the way - so we added a kitchen chair to hold the hot wheels - he just climbed over the banana chair at first and then he figured out how to tip the kitchen chair (made of wood-heavy) so that he could shinny behind the chair, yes he kept shuffling his hands across the back of the chair while he shinnied, and then he pushed over the hot wheels and then up the stairs he went. So we bought a gate today. I think he took down the gate 3 times before Mitch found a spot and made it so tight that he had yet been able to take it down. So maybe tomorrow I won' t have to chase him up the stairs every 5 minutes.
