We were on vacation with my family last week at Lake Chelan. What a beautiful lake! I will tell more about it when I post some pictures in the next few days. While on vacation Ian had been sitting in crawl position and wiggling back and forth. (so close to crawling!) Just about every one of us tried to get him to crawl. He would move one arm and then lunge or sit back on his bottom. No luck.
This morning Ian was playing on the floor with some toys while I was vacuuming and he really wanted the vacuum. I shut off the vacuum and set it far enough away from him that he would have to crawl to get it. I encouraged him as he got into crawl position to come and get it. Then, he moves one arm, his other arm, a knee, another arm and another knee and lunges for the vacuum and makes it! It was so exciting! I was way more excited about it than he was. He was just happy to get the vacuum. I called Victor right away to tell him about it.
He started to do his wiggle maneuvers again and I was sad Victor wouldn't be able to see him do it. Victor came home about ten minutes later and tried to bribe Ian with the vacuum and sure enough he did the same thing for Daddy! Victor was just as excited as I was! He's growing up so fast it makes me happy and sad. Thought I would post the good news on the blog!

Oh man! You're in for it now! :) Nothing will be safe on the floor and you'll have lots of dirty pants and knees to clean but boy oh boy is it worth it! I loved when Abby started to crawl! Its even more fun when they start to walk! Congrats on one of the best milestones (apart from them smiling at you!)
Of course he does it when i leave! Miss you guys!
