Mobility

Today launched a new phase in our lives as parents. Daniel has finally figured out how to crawl forward. He can now go backwards, in circles, and slightly forward. And as I watched him wriggle forward and then pull himself up on the laundry basket, I couldn't help thinking about our need as humans to move. Around here in Lehi, UT, there is not just a need to move but a need for speed. Although nice men and women post speed limit signs all over the roads, the law comes second to people who need to get somewhere, and get there fast. I am sure that Daniel will eventually be one of those speed demons of a driver. Since day one he has wanted to move to wiggle and see things around him. I can only imagine him in about six more months running from place to place. He is not content sitting still or relaxing. He wants to be mobile and more importantly he wants to do things for himself. Daniel would love nothing more if he could feed himself, walk and no longer be confined in
