Trying To Stand

Every time I turn around lately, Matthew is doing one of two things.

1st he's crawling all over the house. Down the hallways, into the bedrooms and bathroom, between the furniture, basically anywhere he'll fit. He expends a lot of energy and seems to have a lot of fun at it.

2nd he's trying to stand up a bit. He pulls himself up the french doors to look outside, he pulls himself up on our legs, he pulls himself up by grabbing our hands and lifting himself up high.

Usually this is a good thing, but once in awhile he'll fall back down. Today the poor little guy pulled himself up on one of James' small chairs in the kitchen and it spilled over. He banged his head on the tile floor and the chair fell right on top of him. He was so startled that he just sat there for a minute, then the loud cry and huge tears began to flow. Luckily he wasn't hurt and he only cried for a little bit. His head stopped hurting and he went on to more exploration.

Growing up isn't easy!

Thanks for posting these events. We can't be there to watch the changes, so through modern technology we can a
at least keep up somewhat.
P.S. your postings are also entertaining- well written

You're welcome! Wish you were here, but glad you're able to "virtually" watch the kids growing each day.
