The Scooter

Ethan has finally picked up the art of scooting. It's hilarious, he looks kind of like a seal, arching his back and relying mostly on his arms and body movement to propel him along. After a couple of days he is now beginning to get his feet into the action, but just barely. I've got to get a video before he reall picks up the technique.
His first instinct when he sees something he wants is still to roll, which of course puts him farther away, but really he's getting better.

Said child just spit up on my leg and then took off accross the living room floor after something that interested. ...one minute while I investigate a noise coming from a spot beside the couch which I can't see... Oh joy. He scooted to the kitchen and discovered the dog water in the time it took me to write a couple of sentences.

Redirect, redirect, redirect..... My mantra for the days and weeks to come is already playing in my head like an annoying song.
