Jackson is crawling!

This is huge. It has been a long time coming. Jackson is finally crawling! We have been so excited and he is enjoying new levels of independence.

So I have attempted to film it. The story behind the two videos...

Jackson loves anything technological and anything belonging to anyone but himself, meaning cell phones, computers and cameras specifically. So I tried to video him crawling the first time and soon discovered his crawling was motivated by his desire for the camera. He worked so hard to get to it and then Mommy wouldn't let him have it. Such a mean Mommy. Thus this first video:

Later on, Daddy was encouraging him to crawl, so I tried to capture it yet again. Needless to say, it was a bit dark in the room. I hope you can catch the gymnastics Jackson throws in there. It's pretty classic.

We have so much more to update but that will have to wait till next time! But I will say this... We are loving Austin thus far!

HURRAY for Jackson!!! Now Mommy and Daddy have to watch out, the sky's the limit now. LOVE the video and his little gymastic moves. Too funny.
Technical note... how do you imbed videos? I know the whole click the film strip thing, but when I have done it in the past it will say uploading for like 45 mins and then give me an error that it couldn't upload my video. Frustrating. I have some REALLy cute things that Aiden does that I want to share but don't know why blogger won't take them. Any hints would be appreciated.
Glad you are enjoying Austin. Have you met with the medical team there yet? Do you like it? What if anything does Jackson still need done? Ok, done with questions. Sorry. :)
