Ella...Not Crawling

"Mommy, Don't make me work for it...Just give me that toy!"

Two Cuties...

A Simple Smiler...

A cute crawler...

Elijah is into everything!!!! It's past time for baby gates (we're going tonight to buy them). This picture was taken after Elijah had crawled all the way into the kitchen and was heading back. As usual, Mrs. Sofiya is just as happy as can be sitting in her spot watching her brother. Though she is beginning to act like she wants to crawl, so we'll see. Boy will things be interesting when she's crawling over over the place too!!

Elijah is Crawling...in his own way!

Elijah has been wanting to crawl for about a week or so now and this weekend, he finally mastered The Scoot! It's so funny! He gets up on all fours, rocks back and forth a bit, grunts, then pulls his toes up towards his belly and sort of walks them in. He gets better and better all each time he does it.

Here's a video that I took Saturday morning...Notice towards the end how he glances up and sees me with the camera and gives a quick smile, almost as if he's saying, "Are you getting this? Aren't I doing good?!"

You'll notice in the backgroud is, Miss Ella Cinderella, who is just as complacent in life as always and is just as happy sitting on the floor watching Elijah do all of the hard work.
