corey has been up on all 4's a few times in the last couple of days. i think i'll be glad when he can crawl because he's been getting so frustrated for weeks & weeks now that he can't get anywhere. he's done some commando-type wriggling but it still doesn't satisfy him. he's so impatient. i have no idea where he gets that from getting him to bed at night went completely haywire around xmas - i think we threw his routine out the window with a couple of nights out etc but we're back on track now. still wakes up to 5 times for a feed each night (not counting simple resettles) but at least we've reclaimed our evenings a little bit - it's nice not to have an over-tired baby squealing as the sound track to dinner

i'm loving how interactive & inquisitive they are at this age though - it's amazing how quickly they change in their ability to actually play with toys rather than just swot at them!
