he's mobile!

No, this is not an April Fool's joke. He's mobile. Does that mean he's finally crawling? Well, yes and no. Benjamin has an eclectic locomotive style: scoot, belly-crawl, roll, hands-and-knees ... whatever it takes. None of this is new, but for the first time today, he really started to explore past his immediate location ...

Crawling or not, he's suddenly quite mobile. Good things the outlets are all baby-proofed, as are the main cabinets, but we'd better do a new sweep before he starts showing us where we've been negligent. April will look very different from March.

PS Tonight I installed a safety lock on the cabinet he's trying to open in the last photo.

PPS I should mention that he started out in the middle of that blue foam rubber play mat in the background but that I didn't start taking photos of his progress until he'd reached the corner of the couch.
