Ashton is getting very mobile now! Although he still tends to go for the caterpillar crawl more often than the conventional way of crawling, he is getting round and into everything none the less. So, today we got all of the pillows and blankets from around our little home and made a giant pillow pit!!!
To begin with Ashton just looked at the mass of pillows all over his bed room floor as a bit of an inconvenience! He couldn't get over to his keyboard, or his toy basket! So mummy got into action and jumped up on top of the pillows and showed Ashton how to get over the pillows. Once Ashton saw me crawling over the pillows to the other side he got a huge grin on his face. It was now Ashton's turn to give it a try.
Although he found it a little tricky at first, Ashton was determined to get over the pillow mound to play with his toys and climb all over me! So I kept going backwards and forwards showing him how it was done and eventually he made his way to the middle of the pillow pit! He was very proud of himself and from there he had a great time rolling around in the pillows!
