Mobility

It's been awhile. Too long. Many factors, but nothing serious, thankfully. Anyway, Quinn is mobile now. He crawls around on his belly, pulling himself with his hands. He can move from sitting to his belly and back. Today for the first time, he started to tip over in the bath, but caught himself by putting his hand out and pushing himself back up! Very impressive.

He also really loves being read to. He can concentrate intently through a half dozen books at a time. He'll crawl over to the pile of books in his play area and try to get at them, indicating he wants to be read to. Sometimes he even picks out a book that he wants read. He will turn pages when prompted.

He's particularly fun when reading the book "Goodnight Moon". There are several pages in colour, and some of them have a red balloon in the picture. Whenever we get to those pages, he points to the balloon and rubs the picture of the balloon, staring at it. But whenever we turn to a page that doesn't have the red balloon in it, he immediately turns the page after scanning for the balloon and determining it's not there.

He's really learning a lot these days, and developing a personality to go with it. He's a smiley, lovey little boy. May that last for years to come.
