CRAWLING
Dawson crawled for the first time about a week ago! We've been expecting for the past few weeks. He finally got the strength and coordination to hold his body up, pick up a hand, and set it down again without falling or rolling onto his back. His previous failed attempts looked kinda his arm was a kickstand, and he didn't know how to balance himself when it wasn't on the ground. At 5-1/2 months old, he's definitely our earliest crawler! He is really slow, unless he's going in reverse- he's mastered that and often gets wedged underneath our entertainment center.
FIRST HAIR CUT
I also decided to trim his hair (just the sides) last night. I wish I'd taken a before shot, but I went back a few weeks and found this picture so you can see how long it was before...
After! So much better! No more Bozo the Clown, as Uncle Luke described him the other night. (Totally accurate!)
FIRST TABLE FOOD
His appetite has been insatiable lately, so I decided to go ahead and introduce baby oatmeal at dinner the other night. He couldn't get enough!
And this is how he reacted when Lee didn't get it to him fast enough...He ate all 3 ounces in about 5 minutes! Then he wanted to hold the spoon; notice he's holding it with his left hand! We're pretty sure he's left-handed since he has a definite preference for it.
