Rice. And Magic

Sammy has started eating rice. We mix it with soup so it'll go down easier.  His 4 lower teeth have all lined up, and at least two teeth are peeking out from his upper gumline.

He still doesn't crawl.  But we think it's about time that he learns to, so we try to be a bit sneaky and set things up so that he'll be forced to crawl.

We set him down flat on his tummy, and then we place some of his toys about a foot beyond his reach.  The idea being that he will force himself to crawl toward the toys, if he wants to play. 

But he has other ideas.

By stretching his left hand toward the toys, palms up, and opening and closing his hands, it's undeniable that he's trying to use magic to beckon the toys to come to him.

It may or may not work. 

Keep tuned.
