On the go!

Within in the last week you have really been on the move! You are an official crawler now, and getting quicker everyday. For the first few days you just crawled around the living room and explored your toys. Then you moved on to chasing Emma around. When you spot her you SQUEAL in delight and go after her, even chasing her. I think Emma liked it better when you were not mobile ;) Now you are crawling all over the place and getting into EVERYTHING and you follow us when we go in to another room. You no longer have interest in any of your toys, you want to crawl over to the bag on the floor, play in Emma's water bowl, tip over the trash can and pull things off of shelves! You think it is funny when we tell you NO and redirect you to something else, and are NOT be fooled. We can put you on the other side of the room, but in no time you are right back at the water bowl! You are also pulling up more and getting pretty good at it, when you are tired you will kneel. You are not too sure how to get down after you get up. Sometimes it happens without you really knowing it, sometimes you fall other times you fuss until someone helps you. You have been trying more to get down on your own which is funny to watch. You look down at the floor make your legs and arms VERY straight and lower yourself to the ground :) You have been sitting up in your bed now for about a week. The first time it happened the look on your face was priceless, you were shocked! Yesterday was the first day you STOOD up in your crib. This morning when I was changing your sheets, I took out the bumper, which was bittersweet. You are growing into a little boy and are not a "baby" anymore, although you will ALWAYS be our baby :)
