This past week has been eventful. Yesterday Joe crawled for the first time. We are at Marny and Papa’s, and he just started crawling across the floor. He had been trying for a while with the “bicycle kicks” in the air, but finally put it all together. Of all things, he was chasing a monitor. Figures.It was the day before he turned 6 months (today) that he crawled. Maybe I can remember that one.

Last night, Izzy and I went out to the Papa’s swing, where what I call “Under Doggies” turned into “Under Dog”. At first, I was a little nervous because she was going really high, but after about the 20th one I got over it. Izzy would just laugh up a storm and smile and smile. It then turned into “another won” followed by “you can’t reach me”. We probably did “another won” 30 times. She is a daredevil, and I can’t wait to take her to amusement parks. There also may be a broken bone or two in our future (I hope not).

We’re on the road for Thanksgiving, despite COVID, but only immediate family + my uncle. Anna has us wearing masks in the house. I told her she’s nuts. Maybe there will be a vaccine soon.
