Colton Moves in Mysterious Ways (it's alright, it's alright)

I love song lyrics for headlines. Yep, Colton's been moving in somewhat mysterious ways lately. Here's how it goes: I put him in his crib or on his playmat facing one way (see picture) and then when I go back to him, he's flipped himself in the other direction.

I've been wondering how he was accomplishing this amazing feat, since as far as I know, he is not walking, crawling, jumping, flying or swimming yet. But that's when I remembered the show Muppet Babies. For those of you who grew up in the 80's (or raised kids during this time) you'll recall that the Muppet Babies were an imaginative band of babes who were constantly sneaking off and having adventures will their caregiver, Nanny, was in the other room.

Maybe Colton's been off visiting the moon or sailing the Sea of Gibraltor and simply forgets to put himself back in the right position when he comes back.

Or . . . as I was finally able to observe this morning, Colton is using his ability to roll to his side to scoot around the world. . . er . . . crib.

It's really cute to see him learning how to get around. He throws his legs up by his belly then flips over to his side, not quite all the way to his stomach but close, then flips back on his back. Each time he does the side flip, he moves himself a bit farther in the direction he's traveling. What a cutie batootie!
