Baby Tricks

Let the games begin.

Ever since Jeremy figured out how to pull up, anything bigger than he has become fair game. Unfortunately, not many of these items are stationery, so we’re already seeing a marvelous array of crashes and a few bruises.

The bouncy seat?  Check…

…but only after he tried to escape from it.  Good thing he was fastened in.

Bar stools?  Check.

Dishwasher?  Irresistible and stationery, although pretty gross.

The playpen?  He pushes this until it stops moving and then tries to stand up.

This extremely unstable piece of furniture?  Check.  As an added bonus, there is an outgrown car seat on top of it, also available for grabbing.

We don’t mind his actually standing up in the playpen…at least he’s safe there!

What’s amazing is that he is actually getting up on his feet; he can even cruise around the perimeter of his playpen.

Have I mentioned lately that he’s not even seven months old?  I hope that this doesn’t sound boastful because it’s not meant to be.  “Dismayed” is a more accurate word!  I literally turn my back on him for five seconds, and I hear furniture scraping across the floor.  And he looks so surprised every single time that he’s holding moves.

As a note of reassurance…I or one of the kid was always within arm’s reach when Jeremy was practicing!  No baby was harmed in the taking of these pictures.  That only seems to happen when I’m not looking!

Sigh.

Hope that you have a great weekend!
