Follow Me Fred

One of Sean's many Christmas gifts from Pop and B was a little dog named Follow Me Fred from tinylove.com. The stated goal of Follow Me Fred is to encourage crawling. Well, the first time we tried Mr. Fred, the result may have been encouraging Sean to crawl, but in the wrong way.... he was terrified of the moving dog:

What a difference a few days makes...

Just a few days later, it appears Sean has made peace with Fred! When watching this video, keep in mind that Sean expresses affection for an item (toys, people, food, his hands) by trying to eat it:

Update: Fred is a staple in our living room now-- Sean is used to him and while he hasn't quite figured out how he works, he knows he can pick Fred up and lick him, and that's enough for Sean!

The first video was really sad and really funny at the same time!!! So glad Sean made friends with Fred in the end! Maybe Sean will chase him eventually. -B

I couldn't decide if i was being a terrible parent by laughing while he was in such distress! But it was just so funny i had to get it on video!

I like how Fred glides gently across the floor, with the epic music in the back.

How did you have the foresight to tape the crying?

Erin said...

It actually wasn't so much foresight, but that he would cry every time Fred moved and then stop when Fred stopped. Too much of a distinct pattern to be coincidental... hilarious though.

BTW, look for a new video highlighting one of Sean's new skills in the next day or two!
