On Christmas Eve we got the most amazing gift of all - Benton started crawling :) It's so wonderful to see Benton starting to move independently. Watching him take his first "crawling steps" was one of the most magical things I have ever witnessed. We all cheered him on as he kept showing off his new skill. At this point Benton has just figured out how to move his hands forward in crawling and still needs a bit of help moving his knees.... if he doesn't get help with his knees his hands move forward so fast that his knees just can't keep up and he looks like an inchworm. :)
As part of our Christmas Eve tradition each person opened a present on Christmas eve. Benton's toy was awesome - a remote controlled piggie that he could chase while crawling. We were in hysterics watching him play with his new found toy.
