Springing Ahead

Even though we totally forgot about the time change on Sunday morning, it feels like we've been doing lots of jumping forward. And when I say 'we', I mean Eddie. With him being sick last week and me catching it this week I don't know why I expected him to slow down. But I did. Instead it seems like things suddenly went on fast forward, he's learned so much.

His 'crawling' has gotten much faster. I have to keep my eyes on him - he is so quick!! He loves exploring and is really good at finding the floor vents. He loves banging them!


He looks down the hallway to see what he can get into. Usually he will make a stop by the back hallway to smack the floor. He finds the change in sound to be so entertaining. The way he crawls and gets distracted makes me laugh and reminds me of Mark.


He LOVES to knock over towers! I build them on the opposite side of the room from where he is so he can get a 'running' start. I also have to be across the room because if I am too close, the tower is knocked down before it can really get built.


It was time to put away most of his 'baby toys' and get out new ones. While he still likes to chew on things, he plays more now.


I admit I thought my mom was nuts for saving toys...but now I'm so glad that she did. This is one that I remember playing with. Eddie likes it too. :)


Of course I don't know why we buy toys because he's just as entertained with the tupperware box.


He has started to shake his head no and drink from a cup. Although water still makes him do a whole body shiver.


He pulls himself up on everything! Mark moved his bed down to the lowest position. He can't quite get to standing - right now he just does extremely good back stretches!


I just can't get over how fast he has suddenly 'grown up'. Each day is something new. He is such a wonderful blessing!
