Trembling With Excitement

When David was about 6 months old, we noticed that at certain times he would literally tremble with excitement. He still trembles when he sees something exciting, like a new toy (in this case, a plastic bag), or the cat. Sometimes he yells at whatever he's looking at, as if to say, "Hey, you know I can't reach you because I haven't figured out how to locomote, so you get yourself over here, instead!" When the cat hears such racket of course he ignores it, and thus David is already learning how it is with cats.


And here is Carmen trying to figure out how exactly her arms and legs might work so that she can move from here to there. It's hard stuff, learning how to get around! She's looking away from the camera because she's looking at Fiona. I think Carmen wanted to ask her, "So, think you can help me out, here?"
