Playing Outside

This little guy... what can I say?

Tree Swing

Grandpa Bill and Daddy hung a swing for Louis.

Climbing the mommy mountain.

This morning when I went in to get Louis, he was sitting up, waiting for me in his crib. Uh oh. This afternoon the mattress gets lowered so the bars stay high enough to contain him.

And now...

Pulling stuff out of cupboards must be some sort of developmental milestone since every baby I have ever known gets to this point and starts going through everything. This started yesterday. Oh, and you should definitely turn on the sound on your computer for this one.

He Found the Records


I knew it was only a matter of time before he found these. He enjoys taking them off the shelf and, of course, putting them in his mouth.

Peas

Louis sure likes his peas, which is more than I can say about myself and Andy. Once he gets a hold of the spoon it goes into the mouth at lightening speed.

Peas

Video to come later. Peas are much easier to clean up than beets.

Frustrated

I had to pretend I wasn't there and hide behind the couch in order to get this video. If I would have announced my presence it would have changed the whole thing, which is why you don't hear me offering any words of encouragement. He is so frustrated, but he is doing well. Our days are numbered as far as leaving him unattended in the next unbabyproofed room.




In other news, his two top front teeth have broken the gums! This may have happened awhile ago but it was just yesterday I was able to get a peek. For someone who puts everything in his mouth it's ridiculous how tight lipped he gets when he knows you WANT to get in it. If he wasn't a complete clone of me and Andy, this is another way I would know he was for sure our child and not switched at birth in the hospital. This kind of stubbornness takes generations to grow and nurture to the point of manifesting at 8 months. Holy crap, did I just write 8 months? Time is flying.

Dumbass

Somebody parked like this. Can you believe it? Still sticking halfway out into the parking lot. Even Lou disapproves.
