Motoring

Well, with both kids now on the move, life is a little different around here. We now have to keep a super close eye on both kids. Whenever I say that, I feel like it sounds like weren't doing that before. But, I guess the distinction now is that even leaving for a minute requires making sure the gates are closed, the babies are contained, and there aren't any dangerous objections within the near vicinity, rather than just within the surrounding 5 feet or so.

Both kids are presently interested in eating Norm's rawhides. Norm doesn't help the situation much, as he is constantly bringing the rawhides near the kids, almost taunting them if you ask me. Hank and Clara generally are most interested on those items they can't have, so the rawhides are pretty fascinating. I do believe Hank would love to spend a few hours chewing one if he could. He is continuing his love of all things chewing.

I am amused that the kids' crawling styles mirror so much of how they were, even in the womb. Clara's elongated inchworm style reminds me of how she was always stretched long when I was pregnant. She took up most of the limited real estate. Hank, in contrast, crawls and becomes super compact in his body shape. Just like how he was when I was pregnant. I will be curious to see whether this trend continues.

For now, it's all about watching, pulling them away from danger, and identifying our house proofing deficiencies.
