Baby Crawling Contest

Miramar (a big mall in our area of the city) hosted a baby crawling contest this past weekend. The competition started with simply signing up! Phone lines opened at a specific time on a specific day to sign your baby up. A friend helped me try to sign Jeremiah up, but after half an hour of calling and calling, she just couldn't get through. In the end he got on the waiting list. So we went to the mall on Saturday to see if we'd still get in. Above you see the crawling lanes and the crowds of parents and grandparents all around. Notice how toys were set in the lanes as distractions.

Jeremiah didn't end up getting in the competition :( We were close though! He was number four on the waiting list, and the first three got in. But we still had a great time! We met many parents and babies, and got to watch a bit of the crawling . . . but most of the babies didn't seem to crawl. It was loud and there were so many people, some babies were focused on so many things about them that I think they forgot about crawling :)

Auntie Malia was such a cheerleader for us, and we had fun hanging out with her. Though he wasn't in the competition, Jeremiah is still our crawling champ!
