Crawling, Crying, and Cell Phone Destruction

Mac is a few days from crawling. He props himself up and puts a hand or two in motion before tumbling down. We think he might walk first, though. He is running all over the house with our assistance. I have created what has become his favorite game to encourage him. I call it "Chase the Cat." Tine does not officially sanction "Chase the Cat," so Mac and I play when Mom goes shopping. Good times. We are on round three of swimming lessons with the same results. Mac even started crying before we got to the pool. However, I think it may have something to do with the yellow hat Tine made him wear. I was in the pool today while Tine waited on the bench. I learned a very important lesson today... Always take your cell phone out of your pocket before you spend 30 minutes in a pool. According to our friends at AT&T, this happens quite often and that my phone has a 50% chance of survival.
