My Son, the Backwards NASCAR Driver

Aidan continues to develop his crawling skills. Up to about last night, he had a small limitation. He could crawl pretty well, faster and faster as time went on. He could sit himself back up like a champ. But he couldn't turn right. Striaght, cool. Swing left, fine. Swing right....what's "right"? Honestly, I didn't realize he had this problem until he overcame it. Last night he crawled into the kitchen, and something off to the right must have caught his eye....because he stopped, then got really excited, and started exploring. Nothing new was over there, so I can only assume that he discovered this new ability. He still tends to drift left, but now he's strated looking about while he's moving. Pretty cool.

Also, his understanding of sharing is getting even more interesting-- now, if he has somethign he thinks I might want, he'll try to give it to me without me even asking. More to the point, if he has something in his hand, and he wants to pull up on the furniture, he'll give me whatever he's got while he does his thing, and get it back once he's up. It's pretty amazing... he has figured out that I am, in fact, useful for something other than wrestling.

And it only took 10 months. Took his mom a lot longer to ge to the same conclusion, and I'm not entirely sure she reached the right conclusion sometimes.
