He crawled

Isaac crawled today (see above for action shot), several times, for both Mike and I. By "crawled" I mean "put one knee under his body and pushed on it to shove himself forward by a few inches", but it was a definite sight to behold. Mike said Isaac's crawling episode for him happened in the crib, where Isaac saw a pacifier and crawled forward so he could reach it. He did, swatted at it, and promptly batted it through the crib rails and onto the floor. So our "crawling" technique, like our grabbing technique, while impressive, is still the stuff of blooper reels.

Isaac also has been eating rice cereal at school, for two days in a row now. His teacher told Mike that she has never seen a little guy be such a good eater so early -- and by that, she means 1) able to tolerate eating real food and 2) getting much of it where it needs to go. There go Claire's worries that we were starting him too soon, which is good. We will introduce him to the wonderful world of yogurt and/or veggies when Grandma Jane gets here this weekend.

So yes, he continues to be SuperBaby for yet another day, though today he was a total pill. 5 minutes of one activity, and he starts fussing at me; 5 minutes of the next activity and he's fussing again. He even fussed during his evening walk today. Needless to say, he wore poor mom out. But he was entertained by my antics enough for a photo shoot (see below) while we played with his blocks -- I was aiming to capture the latest "grab and eat" strategy he employs with everything he can touch.

On another random (perhaps TMI) note: I have a "nursing mix" playlist on my iPod that I listen to when I have to pump at work. How 2004 is that?
