Climbing the Walls

M-G had a lot of energy to burn after church this morning. She tried to drive us up the wall, but decided it would be more fun if she went there instead:

Z

Oh, our little man is growing and doing all the things God designed little babies to do. He has been crawling for over a month now, still getting his feet tangled up every once in a while. It is fun to see him get around and though he has been mobile like this for a few weeks, it still surprises me when I find him at the back door pushing on the screen. !!! Aaaaack!!!! He has four teeth and I think his fifth one will be in shortly (another sleepless night???). It is really hard to be positive when predicting when his tooth will come through, though: the last few teeth gave us the same impression as this one and took forever to break through!!! :)

Last night, when running the water for the kids' bath, Z crawled into the room and went straight for the tub. He was excited to hear the water running, but a little frustrated that he could not see it. Before I realized, he had pulled himself up and was standing up holding the side of the tub!!! Then, tonight, E ran from their room frantic for me to hurry back there. Z (after I had put him to bed)had pulled himself up to standing and was hanging on to the top of the crib and yelling. E was afraid he would climb over the top. eeeeeep! I hope it will be a while before that takes place. :)

Now that he has discovered how this is done, I think that I am in for a few loud nap-times when he will stand up in his crib and not know how to get down. Hopefully this will not last too long!

Budding Artist

We got a letter the other day from M-G's school. A piece of her artwork was chosen to be put on display in the Children's Museum. Also on display were other children's artwork from the area elementary schools and middle schools. It was fun to go to the art gallery of the museum and see M-G's painting there.
