Cranky Crawler

Despite my best efforts to delay this milestone, Isaac has started to crawl. My life is going to get a lot harder in the coming months. I'm trying not to think about the negative implications of this new skill:
-the cupboards he's going to empty a hundred times
-the gross things he's going to find and put in his mouth
-the sad fact that when I put him somewhere I can't expect him to still be there when I get back
-the monumentous task of trying to keep all small things off the floor (the girls and their jewelry)
-the discontent with immobility--no more just being happy to sit in mommy's lap or in the stroller

So I guess I'm not really trying to be positive about it. It's just a lot more work. My girls did not crawl quite so early. I needed a little more time!!!
Good thing I ordered the baby gate on Monday and it arrived today--add that to the honey-do list for John. Item #22: Install baby gate at top of long treacherous stairs. Just joking, he doesn't have THAT many things to do.


No crawling smiles for this guy today.. he is NOT in the mood.

Be glad he stays up to date on his "honey do"....I think Preston is running over 100 now.

Maybe Isaac is training for the Olympics one day...John would love that!

Cute pictures and funny stories. I especially liked the "uninterested babies" part.

Last night on TV we saw a place called Red Iguana in SLC...it looked like very very yummy mexican food...it was on Diners, Dives...whatever that show is called, so it might not look like much from the outside. You guys should try it because we can't.
