Yippee! I can finally pull up on stuff and walk!
This is his new silly face. Julia made the exact same face when she was his age. It's really horrid looking but very funny.
That's right, I'm still standing up!
This is what life's all about!
Do NOT try and stop me!
All Alex has ever wanted to do is stand up and walk, and move move move! Even when he was a tiny infant he wanted you to stand him up. Finally, a couple of weeks ago, he learned to pull up and now he can't be stopped! He holds onto things and walks all over the living room as fast as he can. If there's nothing for him to hold onto, he crawls as fast as he can and gets right back up. He is already very confident and steady, can squat down to pick things up, and is trying to stand without holding onto anything. He's not even 9 months old yet! I guess he will be an early walker. It's time for some serious babyproofing but we're still in denial about it so we just have to pick him up and move him away from stuff 5000 times a day. Anyway, he LOVES his newfound freedom and skills and is quite a happy boy. He also has 5 teeth now (and is not a good teether) and is starting to eat some big boy snacks and food. He is so cute and funny and is growing before our eyes. I can't believe he will be 1 so soon! He is our sweet chunk of a little boy and we love him sooooo much!
