Where'd He Go?

It's official, Clay is now part of the self-propelled crowd.

He was showing off last week in small group and scooting around -- mainly backwards and in a circle. The next morning, I got a call from Lisa telling me that he was moving across the room. His motivation for taking the big "step"? He was going for the remotes. There is no doubt that this is a man in the making.

He's no track star (yet) but he's definitely getting increasingly mobile. To top it off, he's taken to standing himself up in the crib. This is great fun for him when he should be going to bed -- but it causes problems when he wants to go to sleep because he doesn't know how to get down.

Lisa, being the sympathetic and loving mother that she is, wants to let him down. I, on the other hand, figure that he'll learn -- or gravity will assist . . .
