BIG man!

Wednesday morning began as usual. Olivia woke up about 6:00 and came in bed with us...I try to fall back asleep (no luck). 6:15 Aidan wakes up. I let him grunt around for a few minutes in hopes that he'll fall back asleep (no luck). I walk into his room to get him and what do I find? Ready?

Aidan standing up in his NOT LOWERED crib, leaning his torso over the side! Oh, how I worked hard to hold back the expletives! I'm pretty sure I uttered something like "oh my goodness" because Olivia became concerned and has been talking about it ever since. :) We've been meaning to lower the crib this week anyway since he can now get from tummy to all fours to sitting, but it just hadn't happened yet. Now it has.

Doesn't he look tiny way down there? Little BIG man!
Oh, and by the way, if you haven't figured it out yet, he can now pull himself up all by himself...at 6 1/2 months. Yipes.

He looks like he is plotting his escape :)

I remain impressed by your ability to withhold curse words. But, thank goodness you are, otherwise, who knows what new phrases Olivia would be experimenting with! :)

Oh Ehlan...this situation has happened to me MORE than once! Then...this last baby we decided to just leave the crib lowered...so that it wouldn't happen again! 4th time's a charm!

Oh...and Finn was full on running by 9 1/2 months...get ready! Boys have a way of keeping mama's on thier toes!
