Sittin on the dock of the bay. . . . or couch in the living room.

This was me just thinking while typing so feel free to get the glassy eyed look until you get past this. . . . . So there I was, sittin on the group W bench. . .oh wait, I've used that before. Ok, sittin here drinkin tryin to keep from thinkin I'm a boozin my troubles away? No, I don't drink (except for Mommy milk). So what. . . . I'm sitting (obviously) , I want to be a person of action. . . ooooh, I got it.

Get up stand up! Stand up for your rights! Bob Marley, one of the worlds great poets and Buffalo Soldiers. Not on board with all of his ideas and politics, but I can appreciate his artistry. Anyway, since I've blown my clever (at least to me) opening, I'll get to the point. Here I am sitting up on the couch . I still need a little support to be able to sit up well. I've almost got it down though. Only occasionally falling over, but a lot of slowwwwly slumping over and then laying down in a weird cross between sitting and sprawling that is not as uncomfortable as it looks. I would have a picture of it but M & D can't stand to see me in that slump/sprawl so I don't have one to post.
I have also started to try and crawl, all I get right now is butt up head down then head up butt down. A little stationary see-saw action. I haven't quite gotten the whole body up on my hands and knees yet. Of couse once I do I'll have to figure out all that left right left right stuff and which hand moves with which foot thing. Conceptually, I've got it. I will just have to develop the manual dexterity for it. Mostly I "air swim" a lot. . . . yea, a whole lot of air swimming. I roll over to my belly now a lot too. I used to roll over from my belly to my back, so you'd think that I could roll from back to belly and back (to belly) but again, not the case. I guess those acts do not share the same neural pathways and I have to locate the right ones to be able to put it all together. Who would have ever thought that learning how to roll over would be so flingin flangin hard. But with practice I will soon be mobile. . . . then I will slowly take over the world.

Oh, a little blast from the past for you. This is me at about 20 minutes old. Check out that nose. Mommy must have corners in her guts.
