Our little one has certainly been learning some new tricks and he was putting them into play during our recent ice storm. We’re definitely into pulling ourselves up and standing with assistance…be it one of us or one of his taller toys. Sometimes the toys aren’t all that great at keeping him on his feet but he’ll stand for a lot longer than you’d expect for an eight-month old! And when he does go bump, at least the diaper makes for a nice pad… 🙂
Nicholas also taught Grammy a new trick today! She came home with us after Mass on Sunday because of the worsening weather and the snowfall and ended up staying a few days with us.
You think we were joking about him being half monkey, eh?
Yes, we can pull ourselves up to the top of the bar and flip over it if we’re left unattended. When presented with that little trick, that mattress got lowered straightaway to make it a little more difficult for little one to do his Great Escape routine. Hopefully, he won’t require the same measures that his Daddy did when he was in the hospital…i.e. being put into a cage because he had a habit of escaping and freaking out the staff of Womack Army Hospital at Fort Bragg! 🙂
I give him another four months and we’ll probably drop the mattress again, if not sooner! Guess we’d better get on the stick and order that day bed a little bit sooner… 🙂
