No Puff Left Behind

Isaac is 10 months old today. 1 month ago we started to get worried that he was never going to crawl. He was pretty good at commando crawling BACKWARD, but always became so frustrated, that we ended up "rescuing" him before he had a total meltdown.
We had also heard/read that the best thing to do was put a colorful, fun toy just out of reach and all of your problems would be solved. yeah. Not so much. He didn't want to crawl for anybody or any toy.
UNTIL...a week ago. We had tried having Isaac crawl for his favorite snack in the past - puffs (Happy Baby Puffs.) We would put a puff down, and he was pissed that he couldn't get it, but he still didn't crawl for it. So a week ago, he discovered he could put his entire fist into the puff container and pull out a handful of puffs. He would drop one and quickly retrieve it. He became quite the greedy little bugger with his hands in the puff jar. So I laid the a whole slew of puffs down for him to crawl for and guess what? He was up on his hands and knees crawling for puffs in no time. So, 1 week shy of his 10 month birthday, he began to crawl. Isaac never leaves a puff behind.
Isaac has been either early or on time with all the other milestones, so we haven't really had to worry - which is why this crawling thing totally threw us off, but alas - we have a crawler!
I have included some video of him crawling because it's quite hilarious. He doesn't totally have it down, because he uses both hands, one knee and one foot to crawl. Crazy baby.
Other baby news?
We (meaning Dave and I, or my mom if he's with her) still make all of his baby food. He can eat almost anything now, but it's still mostly fruits, veggies, grains and a little meat. His favorites are mango, nana's pumpkin soup, cucumber, chicken, and you guessed it - PUFFS! He does have 3 and 1/2 teeth that he uses for all of this deliciousness.

He says dada, mama, Abbie, Day-Z, bird, duck, getready (one word,) yay, and ball. He does NOT say these words on command, and some days he is full of words, while some days he just blabbers and doesn't say a single understandable word. He's a stubborn one.

I could go on and on, but I won't bore with anymore baby details, other than we are smitten!
I will end with a little video of Isaac crawling (day two of crawling.)

I tried to upload a video clip of the crawling, but it failed. Twice. Soooo...I'll just include some cute Isaac photos instead :) (the crawling video DID load to facebook, though...just sayin'.)
A pre-top teeth photo. While it's not the most flattering photo of the boy - it's definitely hilarious and shows that yes, he does have some lungs.
