Indescribable Gifts: So much to discover!

Well, it's official! Micah is mobile! He seems to have the crawling thing down and is able to move around the room pretty quickly... especially when he sees something he really wants! :) Now that he is able to get around on his own, there are many things for him to discover around the house, and believe me, he is discovering all of them! Our next big project will be child-proofing the house so that he can discover things safely and with a lesser risk of injuring himself in the process.

At first, crawling was somewhat frustrating for him, as this video will show. He wanted to get to something and knew he could do it, but would either get tired or frustrated along the way and start fussing. Usually, he'd move a few inches and then just dive for whatever object he was in pursuit of and end up on his tummy. :)

It didn't take long for Micah to really get the hang of crawling. That last video was taken on the 24th, and this next one was taken the very next day... what can I say? Our son is brilliant! :)

Like I said, Micah is discovering all sorts of new things as he moves around... I think I was most amused by the fact that he has all sorts of toys lying around the house, and what does he find to play with? The diaper supply on the shelf. Go figure! I think he would have climbed onto the shelf, had I not put the camera away and moved him back to his pile of toys. :)

We bought a few rubbermaid bins to store things in, and they've been sitting on the floor of our living room for a few days. Micah had been crawling over to these bins and hitting them with his hands, so I plopped him in them for some fun pictures...
