i’m a crawling machine
Posted by kyden on Sunday May 23, 2010 Under Uncategorized5.5 weeks ago, i learned how to crawl. i wasn’t very fast at first, so it wasn’t an efficient means of getting around. in fact, i almost gave up on crawling. instead, i spent a lot of time pulling myself up to practice standing and walking. i was determined to walk before i turned 8 months old.
but in the last month, i’ve somehow gotten really good at crawling. i can crawl so fast now, that i have put my walking aspirations on hold. i crawl all around the house (often pausing to stand up and inspect things as i pass them by), under and over koda, and even up the stairs. mommy and daddy thought about kyden-proofing the house, but there is no way that they can prevent me from getting my little hands on everything — especially with all the gadgets and electronics around here!
a couple of weeks ago, daddy took some footage of me crawling/walking around grandma and grandpa’s house and even climbing up their stairs. but he was too busy to make it into a movie, and now it’s old news. so instead, here’s the short little clip that we made today

The ending is the best, Ky. I feel the same way after I’ve finished a race…

uncle david, what do you mean about feeling the same way? after a race, do you feel like eating camera gear, too?

No Wonder why you are an eating machine! You are getting a work out all day by crawling around like that! Did you almost stop by that cabinet to grasp onto it so you can stand?

auntie barb, in one of the takes, i did stand up in front of the cabinet and i pounded on it for a long time. i guess daddy didn’t think that made for good tv because he scrapped that clip

I, too, feel out of breath and exuberant. And cute. I feel cute.

I reached toward you at the end to pick you up but bruised my knuckles on the monitor. =(

@auntie cindy: you must have been wearing your 3-D glasses!
