Almost There...

Our little man is getting more mobile every day. He can now army crawl on his elbows across the floor to get to what he wants [usually something he should not have... aka the remote]. He is almost ready to crawl for real; he has just started to figure out how to use his arms a bit more yesterday. I sat him on the floor just a bit away from the coffee table and he used his arms to crawl the little bit over and then climb up. Once up, he is so proud of himself, he bangs on the table and smiles and giggles. He has started to discover the other items in his crib. I looked in the other afternoon after a nap and he had pulled himself up and was standing holding on to his fish aquarium [thanks Uncle Brian and Aunt Hisae, he LOVES it] for dear life.
Carl started his job this week; it is going very well so far. It is definitely an adjustment not having him home when I get there in the evening though, I miss him very much.
Alex is happy being back with Grandma and Granddad, especially since their coffee table has handles he can grab to pull up!
