Rolling and Rolling and Rolling

This evening when we got home Eric, Collin and I were all on the floor playing. Now Collin has become very attached these days, but according to our parents as teachers lady, "This is just a phase, but it is a good thing!" So usually Collin insists either sitting on your lap to play or he must somehow be touching you. But tonight, we were practicing this whole "crawling" thing and he basically decided he was going to get from one place to another any way he can. He just began rolling and rolling, back to stomach, back to stomach. Then the next thing you knew he would be halfway across the room. This is a total change because so often he just lays on his back like a little Junebug moving his arms and legs back and forth, almost forgetting that he can just roll over!
Also, the last couple of days we have been practicing eating puffs to get the hang of feeding ourselves and to get down that whole gumming the food thing so we don't choke. Tonight at dinner Collin was acting as if he had never eaten before and after eating sweet potato and green beans we gave him some puffs because he kept wanting "MORE". It was so fun to just sit and watch his little gears turn as he concentrated so hard on picking up the puff, trying to accurately place it in his mouth, then work on gumming it enough to get it down his throat. Who ever knew that eating could be so much work!!!
