Miles of Stones

I have been meaning to sit down and write for awhile now, after the boom of blog posts that I read I decided I needed to update.

Casey got his first tooth after Easter. We'd all been sick that weekend and his crankiness just seemed to fit in with all our moods. He was so proud of himself each time you mentioned it to him. He'd just smile and "heeeee". We have decided that he'll never hit that traditional crawl stage. He swims, with the smooth floors he can get everywhere he wants by paddling with his arms dragging his belly on the floor with a little push with the legs. If there is something he wants to take with him he flips onto his back ad pushes himself around with his legs, much like watching an otter swim. He'll pull up on people but not furniture, if you place him holding onto a table he'll get too assertive and try to stand alone. This always results in falling and crying.

Since I first posted Casey has gotten his second tooth. Crawled properly for about 8 steps and then flopped down on his stomach to swim again. And I caught him standing up in his crib today.  ( May 3rd)  He was showing our 6 month old neighbor how to properly gobble down puffs today. He's not fond of the baby pool or the slip and slide yet, mainly because the water was cold.

I know there are many miles stones left to go. I have started planning his first birthday party, even have bought a few items for the red, white and blue baseball party.
