Life Has Gotten Significantly More Complicated

Life in the Mobley home has gotten significantly more complicated!  These boys are on the move and get into lots and lots of trouble in a hurry.  They each get around in ways that could be characterized as non-traditional, inefficient, different, unique, unusual or novel!  No matter what word you use to describe it, they clearly can go from point A to point B.

Jonathan reminds me of a seal.  He pushes himself up on his hands.  Then, he proceeds to lifts one hand, then the other back and forth for a while.  Then, he does a big push up and lunges himself forward, flops on his belly and repeats this action until he gets where he wants to be. 

Matthew is a bit more complex.  He can only operate in reverse.  Instead of being discouraged by his inability, he clearly makes the most of his ability.  If he wants to get to something in front of him, he turns himself halfway around, moves backward and turns himself around again.  

While neither one can get anywhere too quickly, they are both so delighted with their newfound mobility.  Fortunately, I have two excellent gatekeepers:)
