This morning Ernie went from sitting to crawl position completely unassisted. Mom sat him down on the reading room rug, went to make his breakfast, and then caught him in a squat/all-fours before collapsing onto his tummy. Last night he wasn't able to settle his body down for all the rocking on all fours he wanted to do at 2 a.m. We're close, folks. Really close. We may yet crawl to Aunt Laura before she leaves for New York.
Sorry no pictures, but we were totally surprised by it. Instead, here's a couple of recent videos: one of Ernie enjoying little orange slices and one playing with Dad and stopping to cluck his tongue at the camera. (This is apparently a Hall trait: they all cluck at babies Mom noticed, and Ernie delighted in it so much he learned to cluck back!)

Clucking and making other noises at babies is great fun, especially when we are rewarded with them repeating the noise. I don't know about anyone else, but that always makes me clap my hands in glee.
What makes me happy is seeing Erine's smile : ). :P
I don't know why I'm so amazed at the clucking. I knew you were going to have the smartest baby ever, but it just seems so impossible that a baby could learn to cluck before he learns to crawl! Thanks for posting all the fun. I'm super excited for play dates.
