Karl-Abraham is independently mobile! (Oh, no!)

He has been attempting to crawl for a while now, and yesterday it almost happened, but today, finally, when we were visiting friends and their newborn baby, Karl-Abraham made his first real elaborate dash forward. When we came home, after a nice nap, he continued to perfect his commando-like tummy crawling. He reminds me of a WWII soldier in the trenches. I’ve been joking about it for a while now, but after the Eid, it really is time for me to call AUC housing. Our house is certainly not fit for a crawling baby, and the university will need to make several adjustments. For one, our electrical outlets are not covered. We have big, hard, marble stairs. And these are only the most obvious baby-unsafeities.

I know very well what a mobile baby entails. Good-bye peaceful plane rides, hello confining a screaming crawler! (Only to mention one of the joys.) Despite this marking the end of Karl-Abraham’s cute-baby-in-arms stage, we are very proud of him, and happy to be here for his next step. He is only seven months, but already ready to start exploring the world on his own. We’re (almost) as excited as he is!

Lovely Lady of La Leche, most loving mother of the Child Jesus, and my mother, listen to my humble prayer. Your motherly heart knows my every wish, my every need. To you only, His spotless Virgin Mother, has your Divine Son given to understand the sentiments which fill my soul. Yours was the sacred privilege of being the Mother of the Savior. Intercede with him now, my loving Mother, that, in accordance with His will, I may become the mother of other children of our heavenly Father. This I ask, O Lady of La Leche, in the Name of your Divine Son, My Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
