Getting Closer

We aren't quite there yet, but Ivan is getting so close to crawling, it's going to be soon. He's a pro at getting up on his hands and knees now. He doesn't really do the rocking back and forth while he's up there like Lincoln used to do though. Ivan more just takes off. He gets up, then almost immediately he lunges forward at whatever he's trying to get to at the moment, and face-plants. Very recently he's started getting one knee forward and then either rolls over from being off balance, or lunges and face-plants. He's determined though, because he always gets back up and goes for it again. Soon.

He's also getting to be a pretty adept roller. He, after a little work, can almost always manage to roll where ever it is that he wants to go. And he's pretty fast at it too. He also does, what I like to call his wrestling trick, with a stuffed animal, he rolls so it's between his hands, then he'll pick it up and roll on his back while trying to eat it, then he'll throw it off to the side, and roll on top of it again. He'll do this for awhile. Usually until he figures out that he can't eat it, then he cries and wants to be fed.

My two cute boys. Lincoln always tries to pull funny faces when I am taking pictures of the two of them together, so that's why his smile is a little funny, I snapped the shot right before one of his faces. Oh, and be sure to notice that the sock is still making it's home on Lincoln's arm. You'd think after three days he'd give it up...not a chance. :)
