Crawling Machine!
Winston, enjoying a bit of mommy's green juice.Winston began crawling about 3 weeks ago and is now an expert (until about a week ago, he would crawl a few feet, then belly flop on his stomach, lay there for a bit, then start up again). Here is a cute video from just a few weeks ago.
This week, he started to pull himself up on the couch and in the crib, and will even take a few tentative steps while holding on. However, his balance is pretty shaky, so we anticipate it will be a while before we see real steps.
We now have a curious baby interested in exploring every inch of the house. Currently, he is fascinated with his own dresser drawers - he opens and shuts, slamming harder and harder each time. We cringe every time, thinking of his little fingers getting smashed, but my guess is it will happen one of these days, at which point the drawers won't be so interesting.
Winston is learning new and interesting skills every day. Right now, his repertoire includes kissing, clapping, and high fiving. He is very vocal, and he uses his voice to get everyone in his presence to pay attention (hello, I may not be able to talk, but you will notice me!). He also has become quite strong - here's a video of him hefting his "snow globe" ball (it is filled with water but bounces).
We've had quite a few adventures and "firsts" with W in the past few weeks. Wendy took us boating...Winston spent 6 hours on the boat, and even got into the water at one point! He loves the ocean and can't wait to snorkel with daddy.
He also got his first glimpse of whales last weekend. Dave volunteered at a marine animal rescue facility last weekend (4 hours in the water, holding a 15 foot pilot whale), and while Winston was unfazed by the whales, he certainly loved the attention he received as the only baby among a motley crew of 25 or so volunteers.
Winston also attended his first wedding (Cecilia and Modesto's whirlwind ceremony) a month ago - here are great pictures from the day.
Yes, that is a computer cord in his hand, and yes, it probably went in his mouth.
