I've Been Remiss.....

.....in posting pictures lately. Here are just a few.

Gus found this giant plastic Easter bunny at Aunt Sue's - he crawled up to it and stood up with it numerous times during the day

Teeth, crawling, and some hair!

Wow, a lot has been going on! Work has been crazy busy (I've even been working on the weekends, which is something I almost never do!), and Gus is getting more and more mobile. He has been crawling backwards for a few weeks now, and then Friday night he crawled forwards for the first time that I've witnessed. He always crawls towards something he shouldn't have....the first time it was telephone cords. But he's getting better and better. He has been pulling himself up to standing on things for awhile now too....he's a brave, crazy boy! Gus also got his first tooth the other weekend, and I think the second tooth should break skin any day. And he finally has a head full of hair growing. It is so much lighter than the beautiful dark hair he used to have, but I will live.
I have other pictures to post too, but no time right now.....so here's a video of Gus's early crawling moves. He always crawls until he's just close enough to lay on the ground and reach for what he wants, which you'll see here. Enjoy!

Gus is getting ready to crawl....

So movies haven't been working on here very well lately, for whatever reason. So please let me know if you have problems seeing them, cause I'll just start a blog elsewhere where things work reliably.
I have a short video of Gus up on his hands and knees rocking back and forth - I assume this will lead to crawling soon. Yikes!
Gus also started laughing kind of weird sometimes. It's hard to explain, but here he is doing it a little bit.
The videos might be in the opposite order, but it will be obvious which is which.....
