We creep now. Alot. Vincent will crawl over to the couch and pull himself up, and then make his rounds, before bending over to touch the ground and plopping his butt on the floor in a sitting position. i don't even remember when this started. one day he was scooting (he still scoots by the way) and the next he is creeping, all over the place. Like a pro. I keep having this dream two nights in a row now... Vincent is holding on to something creeping along and then he just lets go and starts walking to the other side of the room with no help. In my dream i feel such excitement.





Joey lays on the floor with Vincent while watching TV and Vincent will continuously crawl over the top of him, back and forth, back and forth. I wonder what he is thinking while he is doing this. He just lets out theses little giggles and smiles. Maybe he is putting himself through training, getting ready for walking. When he scoots (crawls) it reminds me of the army men in the trenches , using their elbows to pull themselves along, staying close to the ground while barely lifting their knees to give them a little push.















Vincent is finally learning the word no.








I don't think he is too happy with the meaning of this word. My first clue is the arching of the back and the sling of his head backwards in a whiplash kinda way. My second clue is the fact that after i say "no"... for what ever reason it was, he repeats the action that i had told him "no" to... but in a more aggressive way, like he's trying to tell me "well i said YES".








For example: He loves touching our faces, but some times he gets a little annoying , so we say "no, Vincent" and pull his arm away. Then he proceeds to grab my face again... and i say "No" and pull his arm away and hold it for a second so he knows i am not playing. I let go if his hand and he grabs my face again, but this time really ruff, and quick. So I tell him again "I SAID NO" and repeat my action of pulling his hand away from my face and setting it to his side. He then slings his head back and arches his back and starts whining......









i thought this crap wasn't supposed to start until age two?
