Here is better documentation of my crawling and scooting forward abilities. I no longer crawl backwards. Pepper is watching, cheering me on.

While Momma was at work, I made some good strides in my physical prowess!
Though not video recorded...I went from belly (crawling backwards) to sitting, all by myself unassisted for the first time!

...And also, Dad's convinced this is my first real day of crawling successfully forward!
(Partial demonstration)

I am starting to be able to go up from a lay down position to a sit up position.

I just lean too much on my left hand still!

Trying to crawl. Still don't go anywhere.

I attended my very first parade today in Middleton for the Good Neighbor Festival. I am outside of Daddy's uncle Steve's house. I had a great time and I loved watching all the things in the parade. I got so tuckered out though that by the end I fell asleep in mommy's arms.

Melanie had a play date with buddy Marissa this past weekend. Just to show you how they have changed, this was their first meeting together back in Feb. 2009. Melanie was only 5 days old and Marissa was 8 weeks old.

And look at them now!

Melanie is trying to keep up with Marissa, but Melanie can only scoot backwards!

Looks like Melanie likes Marissa's mommy's ring.

Love their expressions here.

Still exploring each other.

Just to show what Melanie can do lately, good push ups and some more sounds.

Almost able to go from stomach to sit, but no true documentation yet.
