And He's Off!

Derek is crawling now! He took his first crawl on his 8 month birthday. Ryan was here to witness it while I was out celebrating a friend's birthday. I was almost in tears when I learned I had missed it. And I was only gone for about an hour and a half! Oh well, there will be many more firsts that hopefully I will get to experience.

I asked Ryan if Derek seemed excited or if he felt a sense of accomplishment as he discovered his mobility. Ryan said his demeanor during the firt crawl was focused and determined just as his facial expressions portray in the pictures. Too cute!
