Nutts on the Move

We are a movin’ here at the Nutt House!  That’s right, we are moving but not how you may think. 

Kaden has started moving all over the place.  Just a few short weeks ago he was rocking back and forth on his little legs trying to figure out how to get from here to there.  Then on November 9^th he took one small inch forward followed by another and another and my little man quickly became my little inch worm. 

With this new found inching skill Kaden discovered there is a whole new world out there to be explored.  The trickling sound of Pixie’s water dish caught his attention and before her food did too the child hating gate separating inch worm and kitty food & water was put back up.  His inching skills have allowed him to take his ever present fascination with Kara and what she is doing to a whole new level and he has attempted to join in on the fun and play with his sister.  Needless to say, this has not been well received and sharing lessons will quickly be discussed repeatedly in upcoming FHE lessons and activities.  The best news of all is that as of November 15^th Kaden can now crawl!  I say best news because for him it is the best news, he can move to areas mom has not placed him, he can see for himself what everything is, and most importantly he can start getting into everything.  As the mom that isn’t ready for her baby boy to take this big step toward mobility I find myself saddened in a selfish way as his little hands pounce down with each unsteady crawl, knowing he’ll only get better, faster, and into more and more of everything.  Our first post crawl discovery has been that Kaden LOVES electronics, I’m talking remotes, phones, etc.  If they are within reach he will bypass any and all toys to reach whatever magic button filled electronic device he can see.

Kara has been moving forward as well.  Her little legs are finally long enough that she can reach the pedals on her Big Wheel and if she can get a push or start at the top of an incline, watch out!  That girl can go!  She is so excited and we now have daily trips where at the very least we go down the drive way and to the edge of our property a few times. 

Though these steps mean our little Nutts are growing up, we are a proud and happy Nutt House and cannot wait to see what awaits us next!!
