I really wasn't expecting this guy to be on the move so soon. This week he's taken two trips down the steps. First, the basement staircase. Despite my best attempts at asking (and then begging) the older kids to keep the door shut he found his way down one afternoon while exploring. It was a sound that is forever implanted in my brain. Jeremy installed a self-closing hinge on the door a few days later. The very day after the basement staircase had been reinforced, he took another tumble from the second floor stairs while the gate was open (clearly he is an opportunist). Jeremy was here for that one. I'm so glad. I would have felt very negligent had it been on my watch.
This week he's been pulling up and standing everywhere, using anything he can pull up on (even if it is mobile and sends him crashing to his face). He is getting much more stable and sure of himself. I don't think it will be long before he is letting go to take his first steps. Yikes! I thought I had more time. My baby is growing up!
