Wednesday night, just one day shy of his 11-month birthday, Harmon decided to crawl.
Kevin and I were hanging out watching the Tigers-A's game and he was doing his usual light-speed rolling routine. He rolled the length of the living room and then into the dining room. He took off down the hallway and then into the den. At that point, Kevin retrieved him, brought him back to the living room, where he got up on all fours and rocked a bit (which he's been doing for several weeks now).
At that point, we thought it might be yet another good time to work on the whole crawling thing (we've been working on it FOR MONTHS). So, we grabbed him and put him at the far end of the hallway. He promptly got up on all fours and crawled about the length of one of our hallway carpet runners. He did this a few times and it was so cute. I was relieved, Kevin cried. It was one of many wonderful moments Harmon has provided us over the last 11 months. The closer he got to us, there was less crawling and more rolling. Evidently that was faster for him – he much prefers the rolling! I think he would have crawled more had it not been so near his bed time. We could tell he was getting tired so we'll pick it up again tonight. It's so exciting!
Happy 11-month birthday, little buddy! We love you so much!
