I know it’s early for full-blown crawling, but Ryan is trying his hardest to slither across the floor. Or, climb over his boppy and face plant on the other side! A couple days ago we placed Ryan on his tummy, propped up on his boppy. His activity mat was in front of him and he really wanted a toy just out of his reach. We watched him push his way closer and closer… then he was no longer interested in the toy – he wanted to keep moving! He’d grunt and shriek and bury his face in the floor before each big push – the hardest part was getting his knees up on the boppy to be able to get over it. Eventually he got it! And the result was a face full of floor. Steve quickly gathered him up.
I tried it again today (putting Ryan on his tummy, I mean. Not crawling myself.) and Ryan rocked it. He did it much faster than last time and instead of face planting on the other side of the boppy, he half rolled over… well, let me just show you:
Here we go! I am SO ready to do this!
Kitty cat, you better get out of my way, I’m coming through!
Ughhhhhh
Ok, this is harder than I thought. I’m tired.
BUT I CAN DO THIS! I think I can, I think I can…
yes, Yes, YES!
SUCCESS! I found a TOY!
And a few seconds later, he was all the way on the other side, lying flat on his back, playing with the butterflies over his head. Without the boppy, he kind of attempts the same thing (putting his head down, scrunching up, and trying to push), but he doesn’t really get anywhere.
My baby boy is growing up way too quickly!!!
At what age did your baby start crawling? What’d they do first – scoot on their butts? Army crawl? Hands and knees? Ryan can’t sit up on his own yet, but I think crawling may come soon?!
At Bill Harris Hairdressing, the team are anticipating the upcoming styles for spring and summer fashion.
Belfast Telegraph March 21, 2011 At Bill Harris Hairdressing, the team are anticipating the upcoming styles for spring and summer fashion.
This year, more than ever, people are going for a big change in their cuts and colours to chase away the long cold winter and embrace the sunshine of the festival season.
The growing trend seems to be modern cuts with a huge inspiration from retro styles. We can see this in the street with sharp 60s fringes, sexy sleek fashions and a return of 70s chic volumized hair. this web site medium length hair styles 2011
One of the original architects, whose groundbreaking work paved the way for modern hairdressing, was Vidal Sassoon. His work can be seen in many of the short haircuts and medium length styles being worn by celebrities at the moment.
Sassoon’s strong, geometric shapes are easy to spot but are now being worn softer and are easier to maintain.
For short cuts, think of stars such as Emma Watson, ( a take on Mia Farrow’s classic cut), and Frankie Sandford from The Saturdays (Sassoon’s tear drop haircut ) as perfect examples. There is also a rebirth of wedge shapes and bowl haircuts of the 60s and 70s.
Once again, these styles have been updated and softened using more modern texturising techniques to bring the vintage look into 2011.
For medium length hair, we should look at classic bob styles and more feathered haircuts, playing more with fringes — whether blunt and strong like Jessie J, or long and softly pushed to the side, much like Daisy Lowe. Bobs should be clean lined and no longer than the base of the neck, the closer to the hair line, the better. here medium length hair styles 2011
Long hair this summer will be be very big, casual and healthy during the day and more groomed for all those parties on summer nights. A good tip for long hair is to put it up, but nothing over the top.
The more casual look is great — think Bridgette Bardot in the 60s.
For the colour side of spring/summer 2011, it is the year where anything goes. Natural is the key word this year so always be sure to choose a colour that suits your skin tone, eye colour and personality.
Red is a must this summer. Be as natural or as daring as you want, providing the tone compliments your complexion. Red is perfect for pale or freckled ladies — think Florence and the Machine with her copper tones, or Rihanna for vibrant red.
Blonde is always a hit for the summer and this year try any shade, from honey to beige to platinum.
Be as adventurous as you like, from a few highlights to an all over blonde — think Ashlee Simpson for that perfect bleached blonde look.
Brunette suits most skin tones and is always a popular choice. This year go for any tone from smooth caramels to dark chocolates, depending on your skins natural complexion.
If your are slightly paler, why not try black? Black suits those of a pale complexion with blue eyes, but those thinking of making the change should take care as black is a tricky colour to eliminate from the hair.
As always, after every colour service, be sure to take the proper home care products with you to keep your colour looking salon perfect until your next visit.
The best thing about spring/summer is having fun with your cut and colour. Its a great time to make a change and freshen ourselves up! For your next cut, do something a bit different, but remember you don’t have to go for a big change straight away.

Ryan and Chloe seem to be almost in-sync with one another! She turned 5 months on Tuesday and she’s been scooting/creeping/crawling whatever for a little over a week now. Better start babyproofing now!
Whenever I set her down on her blankie she’s not in the same spot that I left her in. I’m totally not prepared for this. I thought she’d be moving a couple months from now. 
Our babes are definitely growing up quick!

Oh — that is the cutest thing ever, Emily! I love the step by step pictures and the looks on his face! I am missing him!!!

Too cute! My daughter is 5 1/2 months old and is showing a real interest in trying to get around too! Soon enough…
My son was a “late bloomer” I guess you could say. I can’t really remember exactly how old, but I do remember that he log rolled around the house for what seemed like forever to get to where he wanted to go. I remember thinking, “he’s going to log roll his way into kindergarten!” HA! Then he did the army crawl for awhile — we called it the chicken wing though!
Good luck — every stage gets better and better!! So much fun!

How neat! I can’t believe he’s growing so fast and getting moble.
