Markus reaches 9 months!

Today is Markus' 9 month birthday.

By the way, do you prefer "Markus'" or "Markus's"?

Anyway, Markus is doing great and decided to show us a new trick today for his 9 month birthday:



He started crawling! Well, it's not the smoothest of crawls (it's more like pulling himself forward with his arms), but it's a forward motion with a specific purpose. According to other people with children, this is the beginning of the end! We are planning on going shopping to baby-proof the house asap. Markus loves to try to lift himself up and now that he's more mobile, he'll be everywhere he's not supposed to be in no time!

He's also been sitting up by himself for a little while now. Here's a video of him sitting up by himself and then focusing himself on the DVD player!



In other news, I've been working on fixing up the other bedroom/office. It's taking quite a long time and I'll post up pictures and the story soon.

Hope you enjoy the videos of the little guy!

Sandra, at home depot I've bought these magazines that are specifically for storage ideas. I definitely recommend them for ideas plus surf the internet. I'm a big container store fan.
