HOLY COW

I now understand what other parents have been telling us since we got pregnant about babies growing up so fast. It isn't a metaphor--- this little fella of ours is literally growing up right before my eyes. The other day, Julian woke from his afternoon nap and was peacefully playing in his crib. I took this opportunity to get some winter clothing out of his closet for our trip to Nebraska (don't laugh at me, i know it will be in the 70s there and that i am gonna freeze my bum off!!!). So I didn't have my back to him for more than 2 minutes and what did i see when i turned around?! The little guy holding onto the side of his crib STANDING!!! How i managed to keep my cool and not scream out in shock and scare him I have no idea. He stood for a good minute or two before dropping to his knees. Boy was he satisfied with himself. Since then, he has been using me as a personal play-gym and scooting over to me and using me to first stand then he climbed over me. It takes him about 5 or 10 minutes to work his way from one side of me to the other but man does he have fun with it!!!
