on the move

as i have mentioned previously, miles really wants to walk. he is beginning to pull himself up and cruise. he occasionally stands for a few seconds by himself. it is very frustrating to him that he can't get to where he wants to go. up until a few weeks ago, he would burst into tears if i laid him on his tummy...it's almost as if he finds the concept of crawling insulting! but just over two weeks ago on a friday night, he started scooching! it was so cool to see him basically army crawl to a toy that he wanted. ross and i were so proud! then aunt bekkie showed up and we all watched him and laughed. over the past two weeks he has been scooching more and more, and now is content to play on his tummy so that he can scoot around and play with toys that around him. however, his preferred method of movement is still trying to walk. below is a video (it is lengthy but after about 1 minute you will get the general idea) of him playing and scooching.
