Hello everyone and sorry for being such a delinquent blogger! January has been a very fun month in the Tintle household. Beginning in mid-Dec Theo started crawling backwards. He continued to do this for nearly a month and we were quite confident that his wiring was wrong and he would just move backwards his entire life! However, one day in late Jan I had just finished talking on the phone and I set it on the ground. I looked up to see Theo, with his entire focus on the phone, moving towards me! It was amazing. I moved the phone and he did it again! I then tried it with a toy and he went backwards. For an entire week he would only crawl forwards for electronics - phone, computer, blackberry - but for everything else he still went backwards! The best was he seemed to find crawling amazing and would laugh every time he moved forward. It was great b/c you always knew when he was on the go! Sadly for us though, this slow moving only lasted about 2 weeks. He is now completely on the go and starting to pull up on furniture. He, of course, can't get down so he just crashes to the ground when he lets go but it doesn't seem to bother him. He is loving his new freedom and we are scurrying to baby proof around him!!
Besides new movement, Jan also brought Theo's grandparents for the weekend. It was very fun to see my parents and for them to get to spend time with Theo. We also had another house guest, Zac, who stayed with us on his way from London to South Africa. I just received an email from him saying that he missed Theo :o)
That is all for now! I will try to be better about updates. Feb is bringing us lots of fun guests from the US and in March Shane and I head for Scotland!!
Love, Sarah
