I don't have the picture to prove it....

but my baby boy is crawling.
YES HE IS!
I found the great motivator (Patty O, you'll laugh at this...)
For awhile there is was those little yogurt puffs....you know the ones from Gerber that are every kid's fav.
But after awhile, Nate was on to me.
He wasn't so motivated anymore.
They were losing their appeal.
So I did it. I brought out the Big Guns.
OREOS.
You heard me.
Yah, yah I KNOW. But it WORKED.
Five crawls in a row...over and over. From one decadent bite to another...
And now he gets up on his hands and knees all the time by himself, scouring the living room floor for an errant Oreo crumb. Looking...looking....
(yeeeeees!)

  2. It is so awesome to witness one milestone after another Jill. I just found your blog, my name is Austin up here in Eastern Canada. I am a single dad of the most beautiful girl named Hope. She is now 3 years old and doing well. She also has DS. She is my world. God Bless you and your family always and thank-you for letting me take a stroll thru your blog. You have a beautiful boy. Austin and Hope.
