No, Crawling is Easy

About ten months ago, I wrote a post called "Crawling is Hard" when Ivy started crawling. It took her quite awhile to get the hang of it...and then when she finally did start to crawl, she army crawled for months. She has just been a little bit timid with trying new things.

Israel is a totally different story. He has no fear, feels almost no pain, and puts 100% effort into every new thing. About two weeks ago, he wasn't crawling at all. Doing pushups? Yes. But not crawling. Now he can get from one end of the room to the other as fast as Ivy can walking. (She is a very timid walker, just like she was a timid crawler!)

He seems to think


that crawling 


is pretty easy...


and really no big deal at all.


He often stops to do this:


and he has already tackled Ivy to the ground several times by coming up behind her and grabbing her legs very forcefully.


She is not a fan of it. As you can imagine.


Good job, Israel! (Not on the tackling your sister part...but on the crawling part.) 
We're proud of you! 


I'm guessing he is going to be walking before we know it!

You are right, he will be walking soon. That guy is amazing. I have never saw a baby in such great shape. He will be wrestling with Aaron in no time - and winning.

Maybe the reason Israel is so strong is because although he loved being swaddled, he also loved the challenge of getting out:) He is so cute!!
