David has been trying to crawl for about a month now, but every time he starts to tip forward he chickens out and leans back. Well today he found a way to do this paraplegic looking scoot thing that enables him to be pretty mobile without having to risk falling over.
This, of course, has led to actual crawling over the course of a few hours. All he has to do is swing his back leg in the right direction and he's basically there. He's still not courageous enough to go straight into the crawl, and he has a tendency to flop down on his stomach once he's there, but I think it's safe to say that we officially have a crawler in our midst.
So far we've done some minimal baby proofing (latches on hazardous cabinets), but once he got mobile it was apparent that we had more to do. It's like finding broken pieces of glass - the easiest way to do it is to walk around barefoot. It appears we'll basically be doing that with the babyproofing. We have had to move a mirror that he used to love looking in and a not-so-stable bookshelf already this evening. This should be fun. God help us.

Administrative note: we have a cardiologist checkup on friday, so sometime this weekend I'll post a general update on everything - health, development, etc.
