It's About Time!

Ok, so everyone knows that we have been wondering if Joshua was ever going to crawl, Dan and I decided that he wouldn't crawl, that he would just go straight to walking and we had accepted that. I was told by everyone that a baby needs to go through all the steps. Well, I was convinced that Joshua was going to skip this one step, since he can already pull up and cruise. Well, tonight, Joshua and Dan were playing with this toy and a few of the pieces were across the room and all of the sudden, just like turning a switch, Joshua started to army crawl to the pieces. Dan and I are trying not to get overly excited, because eveytime we have in the past, he stops and looks at us, like we are crazy! So we are peacefully celebrating as we see him army crawl towards these toys. He finally reaches them and we clap and he smiles! So, like any other parent we decided to torture him a little. We pushed the toys away from him in the other direction and sure enough, he went after them again. This went on for about 20mins or so and each time he got faster and more accurate. He eventually got pooped and we put him to bed. As a parent you have these expectations of how you want your child to do and be, but I am truly learning, that with Joshua, he is going to do it when he wants to do it and in no paticular order! He has proven that to me over and over again. Kids are amazing in how fast they learn and accomplish things. THEY ARE LIKE LITTLE SPONGES!!!!
