My beautiful son...who won't crawl! I know most mom's will tell me, "oh you just wait, he'll be moving before you know it and you'll wish he wasn't!", but i really couldnt' disagree more right now! It seems like everywhere I turn, other babies his age are scootin' around ...but he couldn't be happier loungin' around on my bed like a big slug! Tonight I tried some tummy time and put him on his knees, but he freaked out and cried like a big baby! He sits up perfectly well on his own, and if something is out of his reach he stretches with all his might and either grabs it, or says "to heck with this!" and gives up! Maybe i just have a late bloomer, who knows! But man, i would love to see a little wiggle across the floor soon!
Tomorrow we're going swimming in a PUBLIC pool with a friend of mine and her baby boy too. If you know me at all you'll know this is a big step as I think public pools are absolutely disgusting, but I don't want Jake to miss out on anything just because i'm a germophobe. If all goes well, I dare say, I think i'm going to sign up for Parent and Tot classes every Saturday am! I just need to not think about all the warts and gross things you can catch from a pool...ugh.
I really miss bootcamp, and I never thought i'd say that! When Jacob was 8 weeks old i signed up for Baby bootcamp in the summer and although i hated it at the time, i loved doing it. I haven't done it since the end of September due to cost, but I really think i need to find a way to make it happen again. I love love loved my instructor, and it was the best workouts of my entire week...i actually felt stronger by the end of it! I love going to the gym too, but have been very unmotivated since i've been sick and dealing with all this stuff. It's true what they say, when you know someone is counting on you being there, it gives you more motivation to actually get there! Maybe February will be my month!
Did you know that crawling is not an actual milestone and some kids never crawl, they just start walking. I personally hated the day when Kaleb would crawl...it makes life a lot harder! you can't really let your kid crawl around the mall but walking you can!!
