A Whole New World

Life is great for Alex, who is now 9 months old! I know, where has the time gone? He is crawling, crawling, crawling. We are noticing that he is no longer happy being confined in a seat, whether the car seat, a high chair, a shopping cart . . . he wants to move! The other day when we were shopping at Target, he was getting quite squirmy in the cart. We had to get him out and let him crawl around the store. He loved it! I just followed behind him to make sure he didn't destroy anything. He is just NOT happy unless he can get out all his energy!

He is discovering that he can crawl from room to room when he's at home. He doesn't have to sit and play with mommy anymore! He loves to crawl into the kitchen. He is very amused by the door of the dishwasher. He pushes down on the door, and it starts to pop back up. Then he pushed it down again . . . I think you see the pattern. It amuses him a lot. He also loves to look out both the front door and the sliding glass door that goes out to the deck. So far, he's not getting into TOO much trouble, but I'm sure that's coming! I don't think he really understands yet what is safe and what is not safe for babies! Fortunately I have outlet covers up, because he crawled right over there the other day and was ready to stick his fingers in the outlets. We will have to keep a close eye on him!

And that's what's up on Boomerang Drive this week!
