Within the last 48 hours, Owen has learned to crawl backwards! He also has learned to turn in a full 360 circle when either sitting or on his stomach, get to a sitting position from his back or stomach, get onto all four from a sitting position or from his stomach, move his hands and knees forward to crawl forward but not all in unison (so he still plops down or stays in one spot if he's trying to go forward), and pull himself to standing in his crib. (He already had learned to pull to standing almost everywhere else!) He's also now "cruising" along some furniture and has even attempted to stand alone (letting go of furniture or hands) several times now! He can now get pretty much anywhere he wants to and, given his spurt of development, likely will be completely mobile - forward crawling and all - within the week. GO OWEN!!!
Plus, he's started babbling ALL the time! He can say "du-du-du" ("da-da-da"?), "ck-ck-ck," and "bu-bu-bu." Collin loves it most of all, and the two now "du-du-du" and squeal back and forth. It's hilarious!
Sidenote: Last night Collin was splashing his own face and tossing water into the air in the bathtub. Owen caught a splash and just thought it was hilarious!! He peeled over with laughter - literally! Of course, Collin loved his reaction and started tossing water onto his own face over and over, each time sending Owen in fits of laughter! Within moments, Collin too was laughing so hard that he peeled over in the bath as well! I had my hands full catching them as they'd tip into the water, but they had the best time ever laughing with each splash!!
Oh and I almost forgot!! Owen slept the longest ever at one time last night - from 8:10 p.m. to 4:00 a.m.!!!! Thanks, Owen!!
