Long Time, No Write.

LittleBear and I have been trying to find a routine that we can both agree with and I am coming out the loser. Goodbye nap times. I miss you. Someone only sleeps for 30-40 minutes now and then demands release from crib-prison.  We caught him last night standing(!) at his railing crying for us. This is the first time he has pulled himself up, and luckily I had the forethought to move the mattress down a rung the day before. I could have ended really badly instead of the funny way it did end. WE had heard him crying after we put him down… and as a rule we don’t go in and ‘fix’ him unless he is stuck with a leg out. So we were letting him cry but couldn’t see him because the camera had moved and he wasn’t in range, so hubs decided to sneak in armycrawl style and fix the camera without LittleBear being any the wiser. So on his stomach hubs crawls through the doorway… being careful to stay below eye level of the baby so coming in doesn’t mess him up further. Hubs gets halfway into the room and hears the crying stop. He glances up and looks up right into BabyA’s eyes. Who was standing at the rail looking down. So much for sneaking.  It looks like BabyA stood up and then got stuck without knowing how to get himself back down. So he was crying for us to come in and rescue him from the standing position. Ahahahaha. 

On that note. I have the laziest baby. He is still not interested in crawling (almost 10 months!) and if he can’t reach it he doesn’t want it. He can’t go from lying down to sitting either. He can go from sitting the tummy (this is a recent development) but not the other way around. He can pull himself up on things.. usually with a hand, and can walk while holding fingers. But no crawling. The good news is I have not babyproofed. No need when he stays where I leave him. 

Nothing else really in our lives. LittleBear has 6 teeth now… four top two bottom and he looooves to bite/chew things. Especially mommy. I have been bitten twice nursing and I am not of big a fan of his teeth as he is.
