Body-Builder Baby

No crawling yet. Not even an army crawl. He just sits around playing with whatever toy is near-by and gives a little fuss when he wants his brother to bring him something new. I was starting to think that Cole was going to be my lazy boy. Then he started this...
The first time I saw him do it I thought "he is about to get on his hands and knees", but then he never bent his knees. He just held this push-up position for about 10 seconds, laid back down on the floor and then immediately did a second push-up. Now, when he is on his tummy he will pretty much always do one or two of these. I guess he decided it was time to do something about that extra chin and oversized cheeks! Granted, they are the girl-style push-ups. Give him time, he is only 8 months!


Here is a good close-up of a before picture of the cheeks and chin. I'll post an after picture once he has a more regimented workout plan going: )
Notice the drool on the shirt. It is a constant thing these days since we are now working on tooth #3. He already has the two bottom ones and the first top one just broke through this week. This one must be a tough one because he has been extra fussy.

Kicking back for an afternoon movie. These boys really love each other! It brings joy to my heart: )
