Notice he is sitting up on his knees? This is a new milestone for him. He has been pulling himself onto everything and when he gets there, he will just chill. Can't quite get to standing every time but he's close. I love seeing him doing this--he makes me think of dog that sits up on its hind legs. It's just too cute!
I am at the stage where I am torn between being excited that he is learning all of these new moves, but getting nervous that once he's on two legs I'm going to have my hands quite full. He's a good baby--and as you can see, a very happy one. But let me tell you, if you haven't met him, his legs NEVER. STOP. MOVING. During diaper changes they are all over the place--I literally have to pin him down to get his diaper on. His legs are crawling before he even makes contact with the ground. And when you hold him, he is more squirmy than a new puppy! I pray that the next one is a bit more chill--for the sake of my sanity and any hope of wanting more children, haha! Although, with a face like that I don't know that I can be deterred...
I enjoyed reading about your days with Evan. It's the little moments with a baby that bring such joy. And I know what you mean about how THEY NEVER STOP. I was exhausted one day long ago, (in our Cherry Creek converted stable, actually); Sheffield was 5 and Megan just crawling around getting into everything. Andrew came in after his own long day at DU and his part time job, and I was practically crying with sheer exhaustion. And Andrew said, what do you want, for the girls to sit in corner reading a newspaper? And I said YES!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm still doing it with a 7 month old and a 3 year old. But I get to go home at the end of the day.... :-)
First, let me say Evan is the cutest little thing and I love the photo of him eating the laundry! Second, I am pretty impressed that my mom is leaving comments on a blog :)
ReplyDeleteHaha--reading a newspaper! That imagery made me chuckle--two little girls, crossed legs, reading a paper =)
ReplyDeleteMegan--your mom is a facebook pro; naturally, blogs come next ;-)
Ha ha, hilarious! He'll learn very quickly!
