"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

GQ and the Army Crawl

GQ is an interesting fellow.

For the longest time, he had ZERO interest in sitting up. He could, but he didn't feel the need.

Then, he got pretty close to crawling, but gave up all efforts when he mastered the army crawl. Who needs crawling, after all? It's rather cute to watch. I don't actually remember E crawling, she walked so quick. And M pushed around on her head for locomotion.

She was crazy from the start.

GQ also has no desire to pull up or stand or move his feet in walking motion.

He does, however, try to climb the stairs. Apparently it irritates him that the rest of us just walk up the stairs and leave him all alone. I think it's funny to watch him try to crawl up the stairs. Perhaps I'll get a video of it sometime too.

Anyway, it's clear that GQ definitely has his own priorities. Right now he's tickling M. They both think it's hilarious.

That's funny. Natalie also has no interest in sitting up. She can, but I think she wonders what the point is. She'd much rather be moving. She pushed around on her head for about three months, then she discovered that she could get up on her knees and rock back and forth. I thought she would start crawling. But, she lost patience with that and now army crawls just like GQ. She tries to climb up the stairs too, but hasn't had too much success with that. Kids are funny. :)
