Up on the hands...up on the knees...rocking...rocking...
Uh, how did you get here when I left you over there!?!

Solomon and Isla have decided to spend a lot of time on their hands and knees lately. Solomon is crawling everywhere and Isla likes to rock back and forth and then crash on her belly. This makes things most difficult when we "run" upstairs to put one baby down for a nap and come back to find that one of the other babies has moved a good 4-5 feet from where we left them. Hmm, how did you get there so fast?! That's where our new "play den" has already come in super handy. Here's a picture of our "baby jail".

Solomon crawled for the first time on Ben's birthday (3/27). I put his bottle out of his reach about 2 feet away on the floor since he wasn't interested in it. About 5 minutes later he decided it looked pretty good and he rolled over onto his belly and used his hands and knees to move toward it. He grabbed his bottle and then ate the whole thing (with my help)!! It was a fun day for all of us! He now can get into the sitting position after crawling too. WOW!
Isla is next in line. She crawled once last week but didn't move much. I think she might be a couple days away from really taking off. Isla does enjoy spending most of her time on her belly now and she's even started to sleep on her belly (she flips over on her own - we don't put her to bed on her belly). So, that's two out of three that are now belly sleepers (Solomon too). I doubt Simon will ever sleep on his belly. He still enjoys putting his arms above his head when he's sleeping.
Simon is getting better at sitting up on his own but he pretty much lacks motivation for trying to crawl. I'm sure that will change when he sees his other two siblings crawling all over the place. Simon's already getting annoyed at Solomon. Solomon just crawls right over him. He used to think that was funny but not anymore!
