he crawls!

Just happened this a.m., so no video yet. Susan points out it's a modified army crawl. She motivated it using her cell-phone charm, which he is OBSESSED with--when he saw it he shifted to high gear, his little legs trembling with anticipation.

You can really imagine him crawling through trenches and under barbed wire on the front lines to rescue a fallen buddy.. or suck on a fuzzy cell-phone charm.

This morning I gave Sam a bowl of dry cereal to eat on the couch. A little later we were both wondering where it had ended up. Sam, in a great example of rhetorical jujitsu, says, "You were the last one to give it to me."

Sam continues to study and enjoy his poster of all the Marvel superheroes and heroines. Last night at bedtime he was looking through the vast array, then excitedly ran downstairs to Susan and asked, "Mommy, have you been wondering what She-Hulk looks like?"

[Yes, there's a female Hulk, created by Stan Lee after the TV series did well. One wonders: if that's her name, why isn't he the He-Hulk? Ana points out that she was a lawyer--who, in fact, argued before the Supreme Court (Ana, is that the cover you have framed on your wall?), when not busy battling Titania.]
