In less than a day, Jack's crawling has gotten a lot better and he's going several feet and using his knees a lot more instead of belly crawling. So fun to see the progress happen so fast.

Jackie-Poo Crawls!
Dan and I feel so proud. We were watching a movie and hanging out with the little man tonight and he seemed really motivated to get going forward. With some incitement he actually accomplished some forward motion. It was incredible to watch him gain a brand new skill right before our eyes, and we even got it on tape. This is a long clip (edited down from a much longer clip) but I left a lot of the crawling attempts in so you could see the wild kicking and variety of methods he's using on these first attempts. Can't wait for him to wake up tomorrow so we can have more fun!

Catching Up
Some memorable moments that didn't make the blog before:
Broccoli in the eyebrows
In the pact-n-play at Christmas, first time he flipped to his belly to sleep
Eating at least 2 meals a day now and excited about it.
Once again, stuck. When you can only go in reverse this happens a lot.
And a few videos of Dan on the guys' snow camping trip doing what he does best: jumping off of high perches toward "safe" landings. These are the tame jumps. Apparently the big one wasn't filmed. Kinda glad I wasn't there. I was describing this practice to a girlfriend and she said "That's how people die." Hmmm, let's hope not.
More Mobile
He's up on his knees now! (need to get a photo) So cute and he's probably going to crawl forward soon. But for now he's rolling and lunging himself into awkward places around the house. He starts off in the middle of the room and ends up trapped in the closet somehow. He must had drug the toy in with him and wedged himself half way under it.
MLK Hike
Dan had 1/2 day off on MLK and we took advantage of the sunny weather to take a hike with small group friends. We debuted the backpack and it went over pretty well.
Helping Mom Get Ready
Playing inside the toy bin is one of Jackson's new favorite things to do, especially when I'm trying to blow dry my hair and get ready for the day. He has even pulled himself to standing inside the basket. But like any fun game, there are high and low points and plenty of frustration. He's getting to an age where he purposely drops a toy and wants me to retrieve it for him, otherwise he screams. Also note the tongue twisting in the first picture. He does that non-stop now that he has 2 bottom teeth in and more on the way.
