Sloppy Kisses

You gave me two big kisses last night when I picked you up from the babysitter (aka Nana Pauletta). It took me by surprise! I picked you up and you leaned in and gave me two big open mouth drool kisses ... best thing ever!! I only wish there was a camera on hand to have captured that moment - but I know there will be plenty more to come!

You also have become a pro at pulling yourself up and standing. It's been so much fun to watch. We have a gate and you pulled yourself up and you got upset because you couldn't go anywhere or do anything else and you started to cry and from the other side of the gate it looked like you were stuck in jail! So cute!

Last night you found a shipping box, you flipped it over a few times and then you began to walk/push it around the dinner table.

I can't wait to get home from class tonight and get some more sloppy kisses and watch you move!

I <3 You, ECT.

Creepin Crawl

You are a mess ... you crawl all over the place, not really sure what you're looking for. Finding things along the way (mainly dog toys and bones) that make you think you've reached a goal. You only goal really is just to find things that will fit in your mouth for chewing purposes. My shoes, books, your toys, the dog's toys. I've begun to rearrange and move things around - I knew that day would eventually come, good thing I'm done with work so now I can really rearrange.

One of your favorite spots is the coffee table ... it has spaces between the bottom shelves .... you loooove crawling through those holes - or trying to.

On top of trying to get into everything that comes across your path, you're desperately trying to figure out how to stand up. You get up on your tippy-toes, but you just can't figure out how to get your hands off the ground so you can stand! So you get soooo frustrated!

Then ... don't even get me started on how clingy you are!! LOL ... it's cute, but can take a toll on me... For example (and I have to watch how often I do this with you because I really don't want to start any "bad" behaviors in you) but I set you down right by your dad and turned to go to the store and you had a melt-down. When I turned around and saw the look on your face - it said "Why are you leaving me?!". You grab onto my shirt and won't let go. I have to say, it fills my heart with pride when you refuse to go to anyone else, but it also takes a toll on me when you won't go to anyone else. It's a love/hate relationship!

I'm so excited for our upcoming adventures together now that I have more time free. Once I get past these 30 hours of observation, it'll be me and you baby everyday!!

Love you ECT.
