Watch out World!


Baby gate is up, plugs are blocked, candles removed... He's officially on the move! Our baby is now a crawling, into everything little munchkin. Life with a baby on the go has changed things in our house. Just a few weeks ago, we could put him down in the middle of the room, leave for a few minutes and come back to find him as we left him. Now however, if anything is left open you will often find two little legs sticking of whatever space he can cram himself into. His new favorite toys to get his hands on are: 1. A bag of pasta, 2. The remote ,3. The phone, 4. The garbage can... and the list goes on. You'd think with a house full of age appropriate toys, he'd be more than content; but it seems he has an unusual knowledge of the things he can't have and those are the items he wants more than anything. The new challenges are minor compared to all the joy this new stage brings our house. He is SO proud of himself when he crawls to get the things he wants, and we love watching him learn new things!

In other news, he still despises yellow beans. He loves to read - especially his "Buzz Buzz Busy Bees" book, followed closely by "No No Noah!". He is babbling a ton. He likes to go into the nursery at Church, and does really well around other kids... except Carly Mix who seems to intimidate him with her cute little girl looks. He's still a big strapping healthy little man who we are beyond in love with.

How fun! We totally agree! This stage of movement is SO fun! A big adjustment for everyone too hey? G doesn't like yellow beans either, nor lentils...oh well, we all have different tastes. BTW, hillarious picture of him at the gate!
