Our child crawls like Captain Gimpy and I don't think he's going to perfect his style. He drags one leg like it's paralyzed and pulls himself with his hands. It's not efficient but it doesn't appear to be slowing him down at all. Yesterday we found him in the kitchen sitting in Lucky's food bowl splashing around his water bowl. Check out the video. He was enjoying his personal day at the spa.
He is also learning how to share with his older brother. He is in direct competition with Lucky for Lucky's toys. He has zero interest in the toys we buy him. We went to great lengths to make sure Lucky understood that Q's toys were his and not Lucky's. We have had 99% success. We didn't think Quinny would be quite so enamored with Lucky's toys. The Luckster has this purple rubber bone and Quentin is at tantrum throwing strength when the dog has it and he doesn't. Q will crawl all over the house chasing it down. The dog is pretty good about giving it up when Quentin gets really crabby but I don't think we really want the dog sharing his well drooled on toys with Quinny.
Due to Quentin's new mobility we had to buy some new furniture. Out with the "dangerous" coffee table with its sharp edges and head splitting corners and in comes Mr. Storage Ottoman of similar size. Lucky's real estate has shrunk because he can't get under the table (ottoman) any more but the ottoman has room for all of Q's current level of toys and some extra space for blankets and such. This past weekend Quentin pulled the DVD player off the open entertainment center so we bought a new one (entertainment center, not DVD player) with cabinet doors that we can lock but are glass so the remotes still work. We can't have Q destroying the Direct TV receiver during football season! That would classify as a true emergency! The NFL ticket might be the most valuable thing in this house outside of the humans and of course our beloved pooch. Tomorrow the outlets get covered as Quinny took a shot at sticking his fingers in the outlet directly above Lucky's bowls after playing in his water bowl. Is that bad? Again, we are really after that parent of the year award and if your kid electrocutes himself I think that automatically voids you of winning. We don't want him to look like Yahoo Serious either. After all we did just cut those locks! We also need to lock down the rest of the cabinets in the kitchen. I don't know what's next, we just take things day by day.
Tomorrow I will add some video of Captain Gimpy crawling with his peg leg. I couldn't resist the water bowl video today.
