Whoever thinks the newborn stage was hard....just wait until you get to the not an infant, but not quite a toddler stage! I'm seriously considering a home renovation made of nothing but foam...but maybe not foam because all he would do is eat it! Wes officially stood on his own last sunday January 2nd ( sorry for the specifics, but this has officially taken the place of any kind of baby book!) He stands there stunned for a second before he slowly lowers himself to the safety of the ground. The grace with which he gets back to the ground is uncanny because getting up there isn't always so pretty. Especially the other day when he pulled himself up on the folded up baby gate, and then somehow ended up pinned underneath it. That was a fun call to the pediatrician. Seriously though, if this kid makes it to his big day with no serious injuries I will be thrilled! He falls at least 5 times a day and most often he lands on his face or head...not to mention the swan dive he is perfecting when he wants to get off his changing table! Baby proof is not a word that exists in our home....when we solve one problem he finds another fun cabinet, dog bowl, trash can, toilet...you get the picture. I'm not even kidding! I often catch myself saying, "No Wes! You eat people food, not dog food!" Anyhow I've noticed a bit more baby weight has disappeared, and I'm not sure if its from the chasing or the anxiety about him falling, but either way I will take it!
Happy Birthday (tomorrow) to my strong and courageous cousin Eddie (aka Tink)! We love you!
