Have I mentioned yet that William crawls?
He’s been doing so for a few weeks now, but I haven’t had a chance to post pictures yet.
Stephen gets on his hands and knees, but is content to stay in one place for now.
It’s happening so fast. AK was still just scooting at 9 months, and here William is crawling before 8 months. I had assumed the twins would be slower at getting to their milestones, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Just today, John pulled out the baby walker from the attic, so William can practice pulling himself up on it. He’s been climbing on top of stools, pillows, and anything else he can get ahold of, falling off, and getting back on without a fuss. He’ll even pull himself up and stand against the couch or our legs. Funny how each of my kids are so different.
My long and lanky Stephen has no interest yet in crawling or walking, but he loves to talk and giggle, and is very concerned that his toys are his. I call William my “actor” and Stephen my “interacter”. That’s about the best one-word description for them there is. Stephen will giggle over nothing, just to get me to giggle back. When I put them in bed together to play and William crawls all over Stephen like a blind kitten, Stephen laughs his head off. William doesn’t even notice he’s got a captive audience–he just sees what he wants to do and does it. We tried to get it on video last night, but stupid me walked around the corner with two bottles and they shifted interest–the boys were on the floor playing with a wooden spoon. William had it, and was holding onto it with one hand while crawling about minding his business. Stephen pivoted in place following William around and taking the spoon away. Every time William absently took it back, Stephen burst into crocodile tears until he could yank it back to his own posession. Not once did William cry or seem concerned–he just took the spoon back and kept exploring. It drove Stephen crazy! John and I were fascinated by it–they obviously have two very different personalities. I can’t wait to see how they develop.

That’s so fun…what a cute video!
That’s so funny. Funny that two kids in the womb at the SAME time could be so completely different in personality. I often think that about my kids too. HOW are they so different?
But man oh man, Kari, they are so kissably cute. Seriously, gosh – so adorable. MMm mm.
Kari, I love your posts — they are so creative!
Tell my namesake not to worry. The late bloomers usually pull ahead of the early starters. I think your kids are even cuter than mine were.
That’s right, William; come to your open-mouthed, awed grandma
Your Great Grandfather G. vicariously took trips with us as we phoned him with our daily updates, just as we, your grandfather and grandmother, are vicariously in the same room with you as you crawl, thanks to your mommy’s blog. We sure do love hearing about you and your brother’s antics and big sister’s love for both of you. We continue to pray for you, our little “peacemakers,” as God blesses you. Love, Grandma
Watch out World! Here comes William!
