Friday was St. Patrick's Day!!! It was Rooney's first but he certainly took advantage of it being on a weekend this year. He chose this day to officially start his crawling...albeit he goes backwards, but it's crawling nonetheless.
He also spent the day with Mom and Aunt Annie.
Rooney loves his Aunt Annie and wishes she would come to visit more often. As an incentive he has offered to show off his cool, new, backward crawling moves and he'll even throw in a few sitting positions!That's right...Rooney is learning to crawl and sit up at the same time. Talk about an overachiever. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture of it but we did get video. We have one video up and running (Rooney Sitting) that we took today. Well...saying it's a video of Rooney sitting isn't the complete truth. I'll leave it as a surprise but it is not for the faint of heart- be warned.
Besides the wipe-outs it's been a good week for Rooney. In addition to being mobile he has also started a new food this week...carrots. I don't think he likes these as well as sweet potatoes but he still tried to grab the bowl and opened his mouth for the spoon each time. I think we'll try bananas next.
Topping off the week Felix came for a visit! Mike and I babysat Felix while the Howard Clan went out for the afternoon. I'll try not scoop the Howard's (in case they may blog about it) but I will say it was a bit touch-and-go in the beginning but once bribed with crackers Felix warmed right up. We took a nice walk, played with toys and watched a kids DVD. Felix and I sang a song about a doagie and by the end of the afternoon he was crying when I left the room. I can hardly say I blame him. However, all that ended once Mom and Dad came home. It was nice to have you over Felix, you should come hang out again.

Hey Mike - change the permissions on your directory so we can actually VIEW the video ;-)
Sorry about the video! It was working up until this afternoon. We think UWis took down the site, but Mike is on the case. Hopefully, it will be up and running again very soon.
I was able to view the video on 3-20. It was pretty cute, Rooney was doing his Michael Flatley Riverdance imitation (Learned from his cousin Cuyler). It's too bad no one can view it now. It was a hoot! He's quite a talented little boy.
Well, I finally got the movie up and running. Stupid Wisconsin refused to be nice and grant me access to my stuff. I thought about threatening to withhold my contributions to my them, but then realized that would be an empty threat. So I went with SeekDotNet.com instead
