You're up even earlier than me. But I won't be going back to sleep. :)

I'm so used to it I forgot about the crawling/creeping confusion. It's not just the IAHP; physical therapists and the military apparently agree on one definition, and the rest of the world just the reverse.

About carrots - he could have but I wasn't quite sure, so I just picked Noah up and supervised the finishing of the carrots. So he did do it by himself, but it wasn't without adult eyes watching.

It's the Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential. Jon asked me last night what the name was, and I was either too distracted or too sleepy to answer correctly.

Good thing today is Saturday - Jon can take Jonathan down to make breakfast while Noah and I sleep a little more (I'm thinking Noah will go back to sleep soon...)

So, you see the problem is that what everyone normally calls crawling, the Wightmans and the Institutes for Human Achievement people call creeping, and vice versa.

Heather said that Theresa also knew about this switched language - she called it "therapy speak" or something.

I can answer that one. :) Crawling is with the belly on the floor -- it's sometimes called a combat crawl. Creeping is on hands and knees.

What's the difference between creeping and crawling?

And did he? Finish the carrots by himself?

Noah may be like his mother -- creeping only half a month after crawling. :)
