well today was the day! jace took his first shot at crawling. he was so cute!!! it was definitely a belly schooching type of crawl but he did move forward and he was using his arms and legs. i was wrapping a Christmas gift and there was a plastic bag sitting next to me. he kept reaching for the bag and i was moving it out of his reach and before i realized it he was crawling. i loved it. i am going to have to baby-proof the house this weekend. he has been trying to pull up on our dining room chairs which is kind of scary. i am afraid that he will pull one over on himself while i am not looking. it is amazing how fast a little chunky baby can move when you turn your head. we had some friends over tonight and they have a little girl that is jace's age. when they walked in the door he was so excited to see her that he started laughing and kicking his legs and waving his arms. it is so funny to see them interact. they sat across from each other most of the time and took toys away from each other and laughed. i loved it. jace ate some broccoli tonight and did pretty well with it. he wasn't crazy about it but he ate everything that i gave him.
