The Great Escape
We knew Nathan was a kicker – he spent a month kicking me in the ribs before being born. Now that he’s out in the world we’re realizing how strong his legs really are. And how much he enjoys stretching them out. Last night Nathan escaped from his cocoon and got himself completely off the mattress of his isolette. And then he started crying and complaining to the nurses because he didn’t like the hard plastic he found himself on at the head of the bed. We couldn’t imagine how he did it until we saw him do it again this afternoon. Turns out that when he’s on his stomach and not sure he likes it (or feeling particularly energetic - we're not sure which), Nathan stretches out his arms and legs – essentially doing pushups – and propels himself forward. So know we know – our son is already on the move.
