I've gone missing!

I am officially the parent of a mobile baby. He is crawling all over the place and getting into everything. He used to lay on the floor and play with his toys and gaze lovingly at the dog. Whenever he was particularly engrossed in a toy, I would lie down next to him on my computer. No more! He is a little mad man. So you'll be seeing much less of me.

Oh, and DH has finished his night classes, so I won't even be doing my (intoxicated?) evening posting. He travels a lot though, pretty much every week for the next couple of months, so I'll be around then.

Re: I've gone missing!

  • I think it's so cool, but so scary that those little munchkins can become mobile. It's kind of  a shame that they don't just hang around until they are self sufficient. : )
  • Hahaha that would be the life!

    He went through this phase for a couple of months when he liked his alone time. He would find a toy or something and just examine it and hold it and play with it, and if I tried to butt in he would give me this blank stare like "Ma, you're a weirdo. Can't you see I'm busy?" but he would cry if he couldn't see me. So mostly I just had to sit next to him and everything was honky dory. Not good for my house but good for my Nest Wink

    Now, he's still really good at self entertaining (he's the type of kid that sometimes will wake up from his nap and play alone in his crib for 30 minutes). But now that he can move, he's self entertaining with dog toys, the brick fireplace, trying to climb up on top of things, etc.

  • Wow, already?!
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • Go, Lil'E, go!

    Mine isn't on the go yet but he is just constantly in everything. Banging the table, grabbing my cell phone, my water cup, my nose, my hair, throwing toys...

    I am going to never sit down again once he figures out how to move his knees and arms at the same time to crawl. 

  • Have fun! soon you'll adjust to your "new normal" ;)

  • Congrats!  Sounds exhausting but fun.

    Yeah, he's crawling early and oh-so-proud of himself, but I certainly could've waited. And he has 2 teeth, weighs 20+lbs and is 29 inches tall. Everywhere I go people say "Are you sure he's only 6 months?!"
  • Wow!  That is so great.  I can't believe how fast he is growing up.
