It took more than 10 months for him to get sufficiently motivated to move forward, but Lewis has got the hang of it now. Instead of rolling and scooting backwards to get where he wants to go, he has mastered the art of crawling forward!

WELCOME MUD!
I have a load of laundry in my washing machine right now that consists of mud-caked pants, shirts and socks. And I am happy about it. After a long white winter, I welcome the mud! (I reserve the right to change my opinion about this in a month.) The boys have played hard the past couple days as the snow has been disappearing and the temps have been in the 50s! I'm ready to break out the shorts. Above, they are making a river in the empty lot next door. Below, Lewis is watching them from the driveway. He is very happy to be able to go outside.
The Golden Rock
Owen buried a golden rock in our yard yesterday, and he says it's the kind that grows money. So we're thinking early retirement for Corey and a year of traveling around the world, followed by a life a leisure!! We should probably rethink selling our house too. We'd be crazy to sell property with a money growing rock on it.

Even Kids Get Sick of Snow
Carter and his friend Lucas went outside to play after school I asked Owen why he didn't want to go out with them. His reply,
"I decided I don't like Christmas (winter) very much anymore. On the first day of Christmas, I liked it, but I didn't know it was going to be this lllloooonnnggg!"

Some Humor from the Past
I got out the big boys baby books the other night to see when each of them started crawling. 10-month old Lewis has yet to attempt the skill, though he does make his way around a room in a round about sort of way. Carter was crawling at 9 months, Owen was 7 1/2 months. I love my content, laid back little guy. I thought I would try to encourage him to make a move by putting a stacking block tower out of his reach. He looked at it for a little bit, leaned forward, realized he couldn't reach it and looked for something else to do. He's such a funny little guy.
When I was looking through the boys books I found some funny stuff.
At 2-years-old, Owen got upset because the shirt I put on him was not the one he wanted to wear. Ever the fashion guru!!
At 2 1/2, he came into my room and woke me up early one morning and said, "I waked up. Can I be Robin? (As in Batman and Robin, he wanted to put on his costume.) He will be 5 in less than three weeks and this morning he had on his Optimus Prime costume. I wonder what he will want to wear when he is 16? He'll probably go to Prom as Darth Vader.
In Carter's book I found that when Owen was a baby he said to him, "Don't eat me. I'm not food. I'm a big boy."
