Between having a kid that seems to be changing every minute of every day, and being on TOBI right now (an aerosolized medication that adds about 15 min. morning and night to my medical routine... meaning I'm forced to sit still an extra 30 minutes a day) I've been able to do quite a few updates this week!
I just wanted to share some pictures of Drew at Gymboree yesterday. We signed up for 3 months of classes. I'm excited, though a little ticked that apparently it's a level 2 AND level 3 class... which means it's packed, and crazy!!
Anyways, Drew had me shocked at his ability to pull himself up, and hold himself up for quite a while!
Yes, that's a trampoline that he's on.
Who wants to make bets on how long it will be before he's walking??
Had a tooth break through (even though I didn't even know he was working on one!)
Made his first big forward crawling movements (not just the wiggles and rolls that eventually get him somewhere)
Pulled himself up to standing completely on his own (and stayed there for 30 or 40 seconds before flipping forwards over his piano causing a few tears)
I'm afraid he's going to be riding a motorcycle by next week and driving off into the sunset!
It's so rewarding to see how much he grows and changes each day, and I look forward to the little boy (and eventually grown man!) that he will become, but with each new skill I'm reminded how short my time with my little baby is.
P.S. I haven't managed to snap a picture of his tooth because a) it's only barely showing above his gums and b) anytime I try to pull his lip down to take a pic he just sticks out his tongue and licks me. I also did not capture a picture of him standing on his own yet (actually, that's the reason he flipped over the front of the piano- I was searching for my camera!). I do have a video of him "crawling" though! Yay me! (And yay for you since you get to watch it!)
(Electronics are about the only things that have enough "draw" to actually get him moving....)
Oh, and here's a picture of him sitting at his piano. The picture was, of course, snapped the moment after he fell down after standing.
Drew has been doing this lately when I try to burp him over my shoulder. He ends up locking his legs and "standing" on my lap. Usually his butt is sticking out more than this (and usually I don't have to hold him at all). How is he growing so fast!? Sometimes I wish time would just stand still for a bit. Everyone tells me to cherish these moments, but how do I do that when it all happens too fast!?
P.S. You've caught me at my loungey best here. Old faded jeans, baggy tank top showing my wide-strapped bra (sexy!).... actually, my loungey best is more likely to include flannel pants instead of jeans, but this is pretty close! Apparently bragging on my child means I give up any caring about what I actually look like anymore!
