Follow the Leader

Luke and our baby girl have started following each other around. One day we just got home from therapy and I took Luke out of the car first and put him inside the house, then I went back out to the car and got our baby girl. Well when we got inside Luke was just sitting in the middle of the kitchen waiting for us. Once I put our baby girl down on the floor, Luke took off crawling and his sister was right behind him. I started laughing and they both stopped, looked over their shoulders at me, smiled, and then turned back around and took off down the hall “turbo crawling”. So cute and so funny!


The latest form of “follow the leader” happened a few nights ago. My husband was on the floor with the kids and they were all over the place. Then our baby girl got the brilliant idea of crawling all over daddy, but that wasn’t enough fun. Once she saw that daddy had one leg flat on the ground and the other bent at the knee providing a nice little “tunnel”, she took off. Before we knew it she was crawling under daddy’s leg and laughing, like it was the best thing in the world. Then Luke, not to be out done, decided he should try it too. So after his sister got out of the way, Luke went under daddy’s leg too…only Luke is was too tall on his hands and knees, so daddy had to help out a little by lifting his leg.

Well, as you can imagine, once was not enough. They circled back around to daddy’s other side and did it all over again. They did this so many times that I lost count. The best part was when our baby girl decided that going in circles was losing its appeal. So in order to change it up, she went under daddy’s leg and then did a “U-turn” in order to go back under his leg without having to crawl back around to the other side. The only problem with that brilliant idea was that her brother was right behind her, so when she turned around and went under daddy’s leg again she came face to face with her brother. So funny! Eventually they figured out who had the “right of way”, which surprisingly wasn’t the BIG brother.
