Beep Beep, backing up!

Connor is super mobile now! This past week he has been scooting and army crawling a ton, but only in the backward direction! He spins around to navigate around the den or the dining room, but then only moves in reverse. He likes to try to find little pieces of junk/dirt on the ground and today started actually licking the ground (the cold tile probably feels good on his tongue). He likes feeling the rugs and practices his pincher grasp by picking up little debris. As hard as we try to keep the floor kept up, he will find anything we leave behind! As least he will have a healthy immune system. Kathy, our nanny, also found him sitting up in the crib after his nap yesterday so he has figured out home to sit up from laying down and he also flops onto his belly from his sitting position, so real crawling is not far behind. All this movements makes for a hungry boy, so he is eating more and more each day (and night) which is throwing off his sleep schedule. But each day is different, so we are just working through it. Connor will be 9 months old Sunday, which is so crazy to me!
