Signs of Movement?

Finally! Gilbert looks like he might ready, er, willing to be mobile. He's begun to stay on his belly more and now rotates to grab objects or change his vantage point. In bed he's moving around as well. His butt is starting to go up into the air as if he's going to put his knees under it for balance and propulsion.

Close to rolling over from back to belly he's reaching for more items and his awareness of surroundings has heightened. When people or objects go behind his field of vision, he is aware of its presence and expects it to be in the same place when he turns around. This makes for fun games. Especially peek-a-boo!

Also, he loves to stand up. When he's sitting and grabs my hands he shoots up into a standing position. This is not new. However, now he stays on his toes and wants to lunge forward.

All of this is very awkward, but the signs point to a mobile Gilbert!
