I didn't think we'd have to worry about babyproofing at this point but he's pretty much a full fledged crawler. Sometimes he looks like he's trying to take off into flight while he flaps his arms and kicks his legs
and then he's off.
I was in denial at first. No way my 5 month old baby was crawling. But sure enough he could get around the room fast and has perfected his skills. His favorite thing to go after is Hurley the cat, shoes, or anything dangerous/chokable (e.g. small toys or cords).
Collin does a pretty good job of picking up the tiny toys but today I pulled out nearly disintegrated paper out of Milo's cheek from a paper sword. He loves watching his big brother and squeals in delight when Collin plays peek-a-boo by running out of the room and back again or when Collin plays with his toys. Now that Milo is not just a blob that lays there and sleeps, Collin's annoyance level with his brother has increased. There are times Collin is really sweet (e.g peek-a-boo and kisses) and other times he has no use for a baby and demands attention if the spotlight is off of him.
Milo loves eating solids and so far has tried bananas, avocados, apple sauce and sweet potatoes. He makes lots of sounds and his newest favorite is blowing rasberries. Although he's quite the mover he has no use for sitting apparently and has not yet mastered doing that by himself without falling over.
I have a feeling I'll have two very busy boys.
It's hard to believe my little baby will be celebrating his first birthday in another six months. We'll soon be in a new house with carpets for him to explore and gates blocking the stairs.
