Little Mover and Shaker, or, Boy, You Are Crazy - 204 Days

You're a little over 6 months old. I know that's not a lot of time but it feels like it sometimes. The days when you were light as a feather and could basically fit in my hand are long gone. I remember looking at my hand compared to your hand when you were only a couple weeks old..it seemed unreal that your fingers could be so small. I remember thinking how delicate you must be and how petrified I was (and still am) about hurting you (dropping, rolling over onto, etc…).

A couple weeks old, tiny hands.

Fast forward to today and I'm starting to realize how you might not be so delicate anymore. 

To begin with, you can basically sit on your own now, support your neck and all that. You roll over like crazy (and roll and roll and roll). I put you down on your play mat on your back, blink my eyes and next thing I see is you on your tummy. Your first signs of mobility are happening fast and furious. 

Lately, this is what I see in the morning. Wide awake and ready to play.

It's terrifying.

Your crib used to seem like a wide expanse that was an island of safety. Now I wake up and look into your crib and see you in a completely different position than we left you.

You also have started to side sleep. It's so grown up.

Mama puts you on the floor, walks to the bathroom, then comes back and you're far from where you started. Once you start walking, I think we are in trouble.

Started at the blanket, only the stairs stopped you.
