Mobile

 Not sure if we've ever had a child get mobile by 6 months, but I'm pretty apprehensive about it. I'm a proud mama, don't get me wrong, but dang - we're in for it. He's moving fast. Within a 48 hour period he cut his first tooth then learned to crawl, unstrap his diaper and pull up on everything in sight. He was so pleased with himself, giving us looks like "Hey, look at me, I can do cool stuff, too!" Then he grins ear to ear and giggles himself right over onto the floor again. I'm not surprised, his legs are super strong from 6 months of non-stop bouncing on every hard surface they touch.


It is all incredibly endearing. He's just so big now. And adorable ~ the kids eat him up about as much as I do. I tell you what, each milestone gets better now that we have all these bigger kids to enjoy them with.

I'm afraid it's the end of sanity for me though - nothing's safe anymore. And neither is he.

Funny thing, with your first you're all about keeping the carpet vacuumed and not buying any toys with small parts. With your fifth, you just count your blessings if they haven't fallen down the stairs by the end of the day. With all the Barbie shoes, Legos and Polly Pockets scattered about - here's hoping his guardian angels are looking sharp.
