I’ll never forget coming home from a work trip on June 1st 2012. As soon as I walked in the door John said “Check this out – look what Dylan’s doing!” Sure enough, Dylan decided his first mode of transportation would be scooting instead of crawling. At first we thought it was so cute and laughed at how funny he looked. But let me tell you, by September we didn’t think it was so cute. I was bargain hunting at the stores buying endless supplies of shorts and pants because every time I turned around he had ripped holes in another pair. And not holes as in ‘oh I’ll just patch that up’ – I mean his diaper was hanging out and he was definitely feeling a nice breeze kind of holes. It seemed like the poor child would never walk. But Dylan got really bad double ear infections and pneumonia in October and would you believe that a double dose of steroids was what it took to make that kid walk?! I brought him home from urgent care on Sunday afternoon and instead of going to sleep like I thought he would (the poor baby was so sick) he proceeded to start singing and walking all over the house. And as they say, the rest is history!
I made this video to show how good Dylan at scooting – no wonder he wasn’t interested in walking! The first clip is from that night back in June when he just started. By the end he was going as fast as he would if he were to walk, and was even able to “jump” when you asked him! haha
