That's right, CRAWLING! It first happened on Saturday when my parents were playing with him on the floor and he tried to grab my mom's camera. She moved it away from him and he followed!
Hip, hip, HOORAY! We've tried to put toys just out of reach before, and we've shown him how to crawl, and tried to help him move his limbs, but on Saturday it finally all clicked. Now we have to be a lot more careful where we leave things--it's time to finish babyproofing.
Just two days before, he mastered the concept of getting into a sitting position by himself. He's really advancing like crazy these days. Last week, it seems like he fell over from a sitting position more often than usual, so I'm thinking that he was probably trying to figure out the stomach/sitting transition and crawling and was falling because he wasn't quite getting it yet. That's my theory, anyway. He's got it now!

We had a good time on Father's Day. "Robin" got Dean a shirt that says "Super Dad" and a matching onesie for himself that says "Super Baby."

We had my parents and Dean's brother over for a bbq (the rest of Dean's family was out of town, so we had them over this weekend instead.) It

was a pretty casual day and we also played some games on our new Nintendo Wii. It was fun to have some games we could get our parents interested in playing.

Robin and I went to the zoo last week with my friend Christin and her two kids. It was fun and we got WET! It started pouring rain about a half hour before we were planning on leaving. We hid under a canopy for a while and then finally decided to brave the elements to get back to our cars and leave.

He's also learned to splash in the bathtub. You can see the ripples he's made. Just like the ripples he's made in my life and heart. (awww, sappy!)

I am so thankful that Jim and I get to see so much of Robin and his mommy and daddy. He's reaching so many milestones right now. What fun that we get to share in that. Love those snorty sniffy sounds!
I don't comment enough here. It's great watching Robin grow, both in person and here on the blog. I'm always looking forward to the latest developments. Keep up the good work!
