Battle wound

Benjamin has been working so hard at learning to crawl that he has his first 'battle wound'...a rug burn on his knee! The funny thing, he was wearing pants when he got this so would you call it a 'pant burn'? Anyway he is getting super close, I figure it will be any day now. When he is sitting on the floor he can turn himself around in a circle, when he is on his hands and knees he rocks back and forth as well as 'walk' his hands out and he even moves his knees. He just can't seem to get them to all work together and ends up on his tummy army crawling, rolling or pushing himself forward with his toes. He wants to get moving sooo badly that he gets frustrated so I've been dealing with a crabby kid the last few weeks. There have even been a few occasions where we will leave the room for a minute and when come back we find him a good 2 feet from where he was and he will have pulled himself up into a standing position, holding on to what ever is closest to him. I know that once he finally figures out how to crawl, there will be NO stopping him! And I just know that he is going to be one of those kids you see in Sacrament meeting booking it up the isle toward the podium...
