For the past week, Desmond has been such a rolly polly olly, rolling all over the place intentionally to get whatever toy he wants. In addition to rolling, each day, he has been moving forward to get whatever toy or object catches his interest. Initial attempts at moving forward took a lot of effort and included Desmond basically army crawling inch by tiny inch as he pushed off with both feet. Now he will bring one knee up to his belly and propel off with his feet to move forward. The funny thing is he will go after a toy and once he gets that toy, he will then see another toy and will then drop the 1st toy to go after the 2nd toy and so on. With his new found mobility and the freedom that comes with it, he is like a kid in a candy store and doesn't know where to go and what toy to get because little man wants them all, much to Stella's chagrin.
Although he is not crawling in the technical sense, he is still moving forward and getting places. We can't leave him alone to even step away for a moment because he ends up in places we don't want him to. So this weekend, Dada erected the baby jail to contain our little mobile guy on occasions when we can't supervise his army crawling.
