Week 34 - Burnin' rubber!!!

Week 34 -Burnin' rubber!

(4/4/10 - 4/10/10)

Well ladies and gentlemen I have found myself faced with an almost 8 month old that has decided to get mobile and get mobile QUICK!! Now I know you are thinking....

You: WOW is he crawling??

Me: Well no, not yet!

You: So then he must be walking?

Me: Well...... not exactly!!!!

You see when I say quick, I mean in the physical speed in which he is moving. And how is he moving at warp speed you may ask...

His favorite way to get around is his walker....and I mean HE CAN BOOK IT PEOPLE!! He can be from one side of the house, turn around, and be all the way at the other side of the house before you can blink. He also has the leg strength to push the walker up onto the carpet and start wheeling around up there too!!

I love it, I really do!!! Although mobile children come with problems like "baby proofing" they also offer new experiences in exploring, and playing!!

In terms of his "other" movement options, Andrew has started when sitting to turn his outer leg up so that his foot is flat on the floor and then he is "rocking" on his arms trying to get up on all fours. While on his tummy Andrew is learning how to pull his legs underneath him while up on straight arms. So I think his "content to sit and play" days are coming to a close soon. I need to go baby proof!!!!


We also almost have 3 teeth! His first tooth is through and two others are so close you can see the ridges of the tops through the gums, and they are very swollen! It looks like his fathers family teething has struck again with Andrew......Jacob had all teeth (including 2 year molars) by 15 months and it looks like Andrew will be following in those family teething footprints!!! Don't worry though I have already stocked up on Motrin!

We also had a wonderful Easter, here is our Easter 2010 family portrait!
