Never stop crawling anymore ;-)

Lately, Timmy becomes very active since he knows how to crawl forward and stand up (need support). Whenever he is awake, he will start crawling everywhere that he thinks he has the support to stand up. We really have to keep an eye on him. We are thinking to buy the carpet (those foam puzzles for kids), so that Timmy can crawl on the floor without hurting himself and explore more things.

Well...when he is so active, he never wants to stay quiet to be fed the solid food. :-( I always have to think of so many ideas to make him stop crawling and open his mouth. Singing to him, making different strange sounds and expressions, this might stop him and makes him curious, smiling or laughing. But this still can't stop his curiosity to explore more things, i need more ideas to make him finish the food. *LOL*

Turning on the music is also a good choice to hold him back from crawling around. Just now i turned on the Christmas baby music for him. It's so fun to see his reactions. He starts looking around and wants to find the source where the music is coming from.
I think he did not know it's from the laptop ;-) During this time, he was quiet and it's time for me to continue feeding ;-) , surprisingly, he finished the rice cereal XD. That's great because he seldom finished the rice cereal. I will see next time if this works again or not.

Part 2: Forward crawling

In the last week, when Timmy was about 6 months and 3 weeks old, he made the forward crawling. It was amazing to see that from him.

At that time, i was preparing for my exam, so there would be some notes left on the bed. Perhaps it's new for Timmy, he was really interested in my papers! He wanted to grab my papers, but at first he had to get to the place where the papers were. So.......he made it!! ;-) There was no longer backward crawling but forward crawling. We were so happy that Timmy had already achieved this milestone.

Once Timmy knows how to crawl forward, oooo....he becomes super active now. He wants to crawl all over the bed and grab whatever he wants. He is especially interested in my books and papers XD Therefore, we cannot leave him alone now, even when he is sleeping. We do not know when he will wake up and start crawling.

Timmy likes to crawl over our bodies and use our bodies to support him to stand up. He now wants to stand up! He always wants to push himself up when he knows there are things to support him (like high pillows, table, our bodies, bed headboard). Yesterday i tried to hold him in my hand, and he pushed himself up in order to stand. I was really afraid...his legs could not support him...and afraid he would have o-shape legs in the future.

I think the next milestone that Timmy wants to achieve is standing up. We look forward to it. :-)
