My boys are growing up so fast. In almost a month my eldest will be 4. today at the Y he jumped in the pool a zillion times like a big kid. he even ventured in without his float and was just able to walk around and play in the 3 foot section. He had a ball practicing going under water and waving at me.
Meanwhile the little guy, now 7 1/2 months old, who has decided he will nap no more than 30 minutes so is rambling at me to save him from the play pen. Why is he in the play pen? Because he was napping and after that I got him up and after he peed all over during a diaper change I had to put him someplace Boaz proof. He’s now crawling and proved so by going from one room to another today to follow his big brother. he can pull up on just about anything and thinks he should be able to let go. he cruises along the couch then will sit down and crawl off to find something fun, usually anything electronic is his thing (just like his daddy and big brother). the biggest change for Boaz this week is he’s finally sprouting a tooth!! Been teething forever and finally you can feel and see the ridges of a tooth. yes only a single tooth but I noticed today some white starting to pop out on top too so it wont be long. many have noted that he’ll be walking soon since he’s so mobile and strong, and despite Dean’s belief that he’d walk before getting teeth he’s actually not be toothless and walking. he is well onto his way to walking and has tried to stand up w/out holding on to things and gets halfway up and changes his mind. he can also get into a sitting position from just about any other position, from crawling, laying down, standing…he’s one smart cookie. well he’s mad that he cant go beyond the walls of the playpen so I must go rescue superbaby.
it’s been a challenging week for us for a lot of reasons. our car is on the fritz, Dean’s carpool buddy is out of town all week, the money is getting tight and I’ve had lots to keep me busy on top of feeling bad. I’m stressed and so is Dean. The kids are doing great though so that’s the important part. well he’s (bo) is really get mad at the playpen so gotta run.
