Mr. Pro Crawler

A Glimpse Into the Past...

Here's a picture of Austin & I when we were about 6 months old. Who do you think he looks like? Vote in the upper right hand corner. I bet I can guess what the verdict will be...





Jett at 6 months, what a cutie!

WOW.

So, Austin & I are sitting in the living room & Jett is playing on the floor. Well, all of a sudden Austin says to me, "Look! Look!" I look, and Jett has pulled himself up and is standing on the floor holding on to the ottoman we keep his toys in. And I mean he was STANDING. Not squatting, not sitting, not hunching....but STANDING. We both just stared at him like, "Wow." He did it a second time, and Austin caught it on his phone. He wasn't standing as straight as he was the first time but you still get the idea.

Officially Crawling!

As most of you know, Jetters has been really scooting around for the past month or so. And boy oh boy, he was really starting to get good at slithering across the floor. In the past two weeks, he progressed to getting up on all fours and rocking, but he would still lunge forward to get going. Well, this afternoon he finally did it (at Momo & Pops house). He got up on all fours and with a hand and a knee...our little guy is officially crawling! He saw something he wanted & crawled right across the room! I suppose it is time to start baby proofing! Jett also loves to push up into a "down dog" position mid-movement (maybe he'll do yoga with his mama...if so, at least he'll be flexible...which means less injuries when he plays professional baseball someday...hey, just saying). But back to crawling, he is not quite speedy gonzalez ...yet. But I imagine, this time next week, he will be a pro (crawler, that is).

I will add pictures tomorrow!! This is such a wonderful picture age!

6 Months Old

Robert Van Buren Smith 9/22/2009

Congratulations Christy & Rob!
They welcomed their first child, Van, into the world at 5:38a.m.! We are so happy for them. Christy pushed for over two hours, but little Van couldn't be more precious. His stats are 8lbs 7oz & 21.5 inches long - tall like Rob!
We are so excited about Jett having another relative who is close in age. I am sure they will will be playmates for years to come.
I took Jett to the hospital with me this morning, & we saw Van through the nursery glass. But seeing Van confirmed (again) that Jett is no longer an infant! He looked so grown up compared to the newborns in the nursery. What a difference six months makes.

Happy Birthday Van & welcome to the world!
