Parker Week 37 – Hello Speedy!
September 30, 2009
In the past three weeks Parker has gone from sort of crawling to a high speed motor around the house. He knows what he likes (cat food/water, wires of any kind, the PS3) and he goes straight for it without hesitation. He loves to pull himself up onto things now (the couch/stools/chairs, his parents, his brother, pretty much anything that will stay still long enough for him to grab on). Last week he even crawled up the stairs by himself (with careful spotting from Dad of course). It’s amazing how quickly babies figure this stuff out. I know it won’t be long before he’s walking, though he doesn’t really have that balance thing down yet.
Parker loves his new-found ability, and would really prefer to be down and crawling all the time (which just isn’t possible in places like a doctor’s office or the grocery store…) he is also not shy about letting his displeasure about confinement be known to anyone within earshot.
Xander also loves Parker’s new-found ability. Zach and I joking equate it to Xander having a puppy because Parker will eagerly chase Xander around the whole house and the two of them will laugh and giggle the entire time. Just about 9 months now, and I have a feeling he’ll be walking about the same time his brother did, in a few months. Will that make life easier, harder, or a little of both…?
