On the move

....finally. Levi has learned to crawl, although he is quite reserved about when he chooses to show off his newest accomplishment. He took four "knees" on Mon, a few yesterday, and then some more this morning and this afternoon. He'd still rather be carried. I'm not sure he even realizes he is moving. Maybe we should stop scooting backwards as he advances.... hmmm. He has also begun waving bye/hi, and accompanying those movements with babbling that sounds like hi/bye bye. On Sunday, he had turned himself around in the pew and was gripping the back. I was trying to turn him around, of which he would have none of. He kept looking at people, saying "huh". Joe says it's no wonder he is taking so long to crawl, since we apparently have another talker. Crazy Simmons' genes. I'll try to post a pic or video, but so far, all the ones I've taken occur after the fact, and he just rocks and whines (not entertaining).
Tonight was a crazy night at church. I blame it on the 5th Wed singing. I left Levi in the nursery and Joe, Caleb, and I sat up near the front, thinking we could since we didn't have the distraction of a 10-month old. Wrong. Caleb insisted he had to go to the bathroom (again) about 5 minutes into the service. I took him since Joe had to lead singing at some point. I barely sat down before someone informed us that Levi needed new clothes. I left to change him, but realized once out the door that I had removed all his extra clothes to put in summer clothes (not yet done). No worries, I had clothes in the car. Which would have worked out great had Ihttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif not left my keys in the car. As soon as I came up with the idea to go get Joe's keys, I heard his voice leading singing. So I traipsed back in to wait for him to sit back down, at which time I promptly left (again) to retrieve the clothing. When I came back to sit down, I realized Caleb was not in our seat. He had apparently felt abandoned when Dad was leading singing and gone to sit with friends. To top it all off, when I got home, ready to do my work notes, I restarted the computer and it died. Seems to need a new hard drive (again). Here's to a better day tomorrow, my last day of work this week!
Oh, and on the way home (after discussing our friend's new-to-them vehicle), Caleb informed us that for our next car, he wants a monster truck. Typical.
