Donovan started crawling on June 11, just before his 8 month birthday. He was scooting all over the place for weeks, doing the "Army crawl" by pulling himself close to things and "inch-worming." Then, the day we left for Cabo San Lucas, we were getting ready to go to the airport and I called to Josh, "Honey! You're son fully CRAWLED just now!" It's so awesome because, as a working mom, I have prayed that God would allow me to see all of Donovan's "firsts." He has been so faithful to me and this request. It's so neat that I got to see my baby's first crawl on my day off!
Our little guy has been doing so much this past month: He can pull himself up to a stand or onto his knees; he can pop up to a sitting position from his belly; he's "talking" so much--just jabbering and talking to us or to his toys. He hasn't said his first word yet, but we have a feeling it's going to be "hi." He's so social, such a "ham." If someone enters the room, he starts smiling a immediately and cooing to try to get their attention. And he will not stop until he gets some eye contact and a smile. Mission accomplished. :) I swear he cat calls at the ladies. We've got a flirt on our hands, people! But his favorite thing--besides getting his toes licked by our dog Ernie--is when Daddy holds his feet and balances him in his hands. He locks his knees, stands straight up, opens his mouth and smiles real big or laughs. He loves it!
Donovan is such a sweet boy, such a blessing and a joy. He's been sleeping about 12 hours through the night for the past few months. It's fabulous. His smile alone brightens our lives and melts our hearts.
