No seriously, where did he go? Because he's crawling now, which is exciting and fun, but if I leave him for too long he's definitely not where I left him. He likes to crawl but he really loves to try and stand - he's done it a couple of times in his crib now and he tries to climb up anything to try and stand up, including the wall, which doesn't work too well. The funny thing about him crawling though is that he doesn't like crawling on the tile too much, so he usually sticks to our area rug or the red mats he plays on. Plus he has a hard time managing the edge of the mat - for some reason that two inch ledge is very hard to get down! He's cute crawling though, once I get a good video I'll post it.
Connor is 8 and a half months now and I can barely remember when he was a little baby. I see little babies while we're out sleeping in their strollers and I think was there really a time when he slept when we were outside of the house? I forget that already! Now he has to sit in the cart and spend most of his time turned around so we can either see where we're going or see what fascinating stuff mommy has put in the cart. Time really does fly when you have a child - which is a blessing in some ways, no one would want to be stuck in those first three months for very long!
It amazes me how quickly he learns to do things - a week and a half ago he learned to go from lying down to sitting up. Five days later he learned to crawl and that night he learned how to stand up from crawling. The funny thing was that the first time he crawled he went like two feet and then tried to stand up by himself, with nothing around to hold on to. I was thinking, what makes you think you can suddenly stand by yourself? You crawled two feet and now you think you can just stand up? He thinks he's invincible!
He is such a joy and a blessing and he is more fun every day. I am so honored that God chose me to be his mommy :)
