Being Stalked

The older Eirik gets the more interested the cats are in him. They still mostly keep their distance, but they are starting to realize that he moves and does things and is alive rather than just a sleeping bundle all the time. Its rather amusing because now when I play on the floor with him one or two cats keeps a close eye on what is happening... at a safe distance of course.



Note the cat in the background.

These cats better watch out though... this little man is going mobile and soon he'll be chasing them! While he still isn't crawling per say... hes scooting. Yes, he can push himself backwards along the floor! Its quite amusing to watch because he is reaching out in front of him for a toy but in the process of trying to crawl forwards he pushes himself backwards. He quite likes being able to move around on the floor and get to new places. I put him on his stomach on a blanket and he got angry because he couldn't get anywhere. But on the hardwood he can move and he loves it! And boy is he working hard at figuring out crawling! If he could get everything timed perfectly he'd have it down. But, for now, I'm glad all he can do is slowly push himself backwards across the floor.

For the moment its Cats - 1 Baby - 0 ... we'll see how much longer that lasts!
