Not only is he crawling he is also pulling up to stand....and attempting to toddle around.....but he cant do that very well yet, although i'm sure it isnt far away....
He has however just about mastered crawling....and because of that his new nickname is speed racer...and he certainly lives up to the name! Other than getting into EVERYTHING, he is a blast to watch as he explores everything and anything. We bought a "corral" to keep him contained safely
And i think it adds a very nice design element to our dining room, especially with the choice of colors and the easy accessability it provides to the dining room table....

And then of course is the fabulous parenting skills we have expressed through the last picture...he looks so mature holding onto the beer while sitting in his highchair! Of course he wasnt drinking the beer for those who might want to think we would actually give our child beer, it was purely for a fun photographic moment... and now he crawls directly toward any bottle that might be around and the cries when you take the beer away. Good habits start young...
On a personal note...I interviewed at another private school last week - Immaculata-La Salle. For those who know I went to a LaSalle in RI although this one is not owned by the same people. I loved it there, the Principal Sister Pat was awesome and not a bit scary and the department chair was also wonderful. I have to go teach a lesson on tuesday at 1:30 to an algebra 2 honors class, hopefully it goeswell. Gulliver called (my previous top choice) to set up and interview, that has been set up for tuesday at 3:30....if i get offered both positions it is going to be a really tough choice...
