Mo-Bile

This is his scoot.  He is quite a capable crawler, too, but he prefers this modality when he can.  He maybe gets a little better POV from his head being higher vs. crawling, but mainly I think it's the speed.  He can easily get from one end of the house clear to the other end, which is basically his whole world.  We recently put in a gate at the top of the stairs, so we let him roam freely on the main floor and he totally digs it.  His own room he's not that in to, but he loves raiding the accessible shelves in Huelan's room.

He knows when he's about to do something or go somewhere that we might not allow.  His gait changes a bit, slows down, and he pauses every few scoots to see if we're going to check him.  He's already got his little mischievous smirk working, and when we give him permission to explore something new, he grins broadly.

His world has not just expanded laterally; in the past few weeks he's also discovered that there's a whole universe above his head.  He can pull himself up to standing using basically anything as a crutch.  He generally looks around, reaches for stuff, then gets himself stranded and needs help getting back down to his bottom.

As if Around and Up wasn't enough for him to explore, he's also getting In.  As in In cabinets, and In drawers. It seems like he's learning all of this stuff at once.  Over the past 2-3 weeks you can almost see a new spark in his eyes, a sign that he's beginning to sense that there's a whole world of things for him to see and touch (and taste).  Then after a little while he gets tired, sucks his thumb, and wants a nap.
