Quite the Busy Week: Crawling, Standing and Two New Teeth!
We’re a bit late getting this posted, as it’s been a hectic last week or two here, but Del had quite the exciting post-Memorial Day week, officially starting to crawl and stand up on his own, along with revealing two budding new teeth (his top two front chompers), all in the span of 72 hours!
It’s been really amazing seeing the progression of his crawling, which went from a couple tentative shuffles forward (after lots of going backwards over the past few weeks), to getting noticeably better at crawling with each passing day.
The day after his first successful crawl, Del surprised us both by promptly pulling himself upright (by hanging onto Dianne for leverage)! Of course, now with the combination of standing and his newfound mobility, he’s getting into everything. We’re getting a crash course is exactly what all needs to be babyproofed in our condo (aside from electrical outlets, which we’ve had capped with plug covers for some time now).
It’s awesome to see him moving about as well as he does, and it’s truly exciting to know that full-fledged walking is just around the corner! Man, he’s growing up fast…

I am constantly amazed at how lucky you two are to have such a good baby. Count your blessings. And of course he is simply the best looking grandson I could have asked for. Takes after his dear ole granddad.
