And We are Fully Mobile!

And they are off....Mallory and Cale are officially and fully mobile.  Mallory started crawling on Good Friday April 22nd.  She was getting around on her own pretty well for a few weeks but on Friday she finally figured it out, one hand in front of the other and the knees follow!  She was patting along with her head down and stopping every so often to look around and see where she had arrived.  She has gotten progressively better as time as gone on and faster too!  She is getting braver about exploring but for the most part if staying in a small area while playing. 

Mallory ready to take off!


Stopping to take a look and see how far she made it

Standing on her legs and hands as she has been doing for a few weeks

Cale too has been able to scoot around and get to where he pleased but he took his first official crawl this week as well on Wednesday morning the 27th of April.  He doesn't have it quite down as a smooth crawl and he drags his right leg as he goes along but definitely is getting to the full crawl.  He has also learned to pull himself completely up to a standing position as of Saturday.  That is what greeted daddy when he went to get him up from his nap on Saturday morning.  Cale tends to be top heavy though and right now has an ever present bump and bruise on his forehead as he starts to go forward he tends to fall too far forward!

Pulling himself up on anything he can get his hands on

So our life of sitting still is just about fully over. 
More so I cannot believe the babies turned 10 months on Easter. 
Who said that time could fly this fast? 
They are just amazing little people who are learning more and more each day and reminding us of the blessing they truly are in our lives.
