The Moonwalking Crawl




Without a doubt, Eowyn will be chanting "Romney 08'" in just a matter of weeks. In fact, I am even hopeful that she'll be able to sign this (ASL style) by the primaries. However, the one pediatric benchmark Eowyn is not warming to is crawling. She can hold her own dainty weight of 13 lbs, standing with soldier-like endurance for the length of a Paula Dean cooking episode, yet, her crawling aptitude consists of inching backwards, moonwalk style, whenever I start to sing "The Way You Make Me Feel." (She's so smart). More importantly, I am confident every parent's greatest fear is that their child will somehow adopt the idiosyncrasies of Michael Jackson. So, in lieu of discarding all white gloves and Disney World memorabilia, we are giving her more "Tummy Time" than the authorities suggest in order to prompt her forward mobility. The photos tell the story.
