The end of the first week in December was when Matthew went from scooting on his belly and rocking back and forth on all fours, to actually crawling on all fours. It seemed like it happened overnight! He was pretty unsteady at first, and toppled over a few times, bonking his head on the floor (my heart stops every time), but now as I write this (Dec. 28th), he is quite a pro at balancing himself on his arms when he goes from crawling to sitting. And now the big thing is standing. He loves to pull himself up on everything (sofa, chairs, exersaucer, Mama and Papa's legs, etc.) My mom thinks he will not do much more crawling but will go instead right to walking! Not sure I am quite ready for that . . . but we shall see. At any rate, I am almost positive he will be walking by his first birthday in April--maybe running!
