When you don’t blog very often, it’s easy to forget the important stuff, such as Lukie now crawling at great speed around the house. He’s been doing this for several weeks now, managing to start in advance of his first birthday. We’d been wondering whether he would.
Lukie’s crawl is reminiscent of a soldier crawling under barbed wire, using his elbows and shins to edge forward. That shouldn’t be taken to mean that he’s slow, though; far from it.
Luuk’s first birthday was a quiet affair. The boy himself, as you might imagine, was oblivious to the proceedings and eyed his cake with great suspicion. He was quite reluctant to get his hands dirty on it.
The folks at Bagels & Beans treated us to free drinks on his birthday. They were aware of the big day, thanks to the personalised number plate on his pram. We get quite a few questions about where we got it.
Tristan’s crawl was like that also, until it was time to play outside on the pavement in the backyard. Then he quickly copied his sister’s more classic style! 🙂
