Dear Connor,
You officially stood up all by yourself for the first time yesterday. I put you on the floor in your room to crawl around while I was tidying up and next thing I know - you crawled over to your change table, pulled yourself up to your knees with the first shelf, then you reached up and grabbed onto the second shelf and pulled yourself to your feet! And from that moment on, you have been trying to use everything in sight to help you stand up. It's like you have an internal radar that draws you to everything that I wouldn't want you getting into. It is certainly entertaining watching you, bound and determined, climb up everything you can get your hands wrapped around. The best part though, is that big proud smile you get on your face after you accomplish a climb. Due to your very keen interest in standing up and trying to walk - I'd like to get you a walker toy. Maybe that would free up my hands a bit and I think you would lose your mind if you got one!! Maybe I could forgo a Mothers day present in trade for a walker toy...or maybe I'll just tell your dad that and then he'll see how giving I am and he'll buy both of us something. Soon enough, my child, you will learn from your wise mother how to get the most out of your father! Oh, if dad asks you - tell him I want the book 'Baby Proof' by Emily Griffen...but only if he asks.
Since you are such a busy baby now, your dad had the brilliant idea of setting up your play pen in the kitchen so I don't have to watch you 24-7.
You loved it!
For about 5 minutes.
You hate it now.
But in those glorious 5 minutes, you were giving me kisses through the screen sides. I don't care that you were doing it because of the mere fact that you liked the way the screen felt on your tongue and not to show affection to your Mama; I got kisses and that's all that matters! I loved every second of it!
Your dad and I also figured out why you have been sucking your lower lip like it's going out of style...you got your first tooth Buddy! I was feeling your gums this morning like I do everyday and BAM there it was! My excitement for this tooth was right up there with Christmas morning! Why do parents get so excited about their babies teeth coming in, anyways? An inexplicable joy.
This past Tuesday, you and I went for a walk and you played in the grass for the first time! You LOVED it. You mainly loved putting grass and dirt in your mouth but all babies do that, right?
