Climbing

Okay, I promised I would explain the mad baby picture.

After Nathan's morning nap, I heard him awake in his crib. So, I went in to get him ready for church. He was very happy and all fours. (I love when he wakes up like this.)

He got excited when I came in the room and crawled to the edge of his crib. He reached his hand up and touched the rail!!

He pulled himself to a stand all on his own.

Okay okay, maybe a little verbal coaxing from mommy, but no physical help whatsoever.

Now, for the mad baby picture. He was so excited and proud of himself. I was talking to him, clapping and taking more pictures. Well, he decided that he'd had enough and wanted mommy to pick him up. When I didn't do that fast enough, this happened...

Yeah, he's got personality!

Tonight while Mike was fixing him a bottle, he was playing on the ground in the living room. He saw me and crawled over to where I was sitting on the couch. Next thing I know, he pulled himself up and was standing!!

He won't even be 6 months old until next week!! What is going on & where is my baby?!?!
