Bruises, Bumps and Scrapes

Until this last weekend, Rex was only crawling tummy style. He would scoot forward on hands and knees and then pull his tummy across the floor. It usually took him a little while to get places and it was rare for him to do anything that would hurt him. Well, this has ALL changed. He has started crawling on hands and knees. The very same day, he decided he could sit up on his own (and not fall over -- well, very often).



Then I left the room for literally 2 seconds and came back to him standing up next to the couch.



Guess he's learned how to pull himself up to things. With all of this learning has come numerous owies. As evidenced in this picture (see forehead):



He uses anything and everything as a pull up bar, including me. I'm just a means to an end. I'm starting to feel like one of these:



He especially loves the door stoppers. He really feels like these were placed strategically throughout the house, purely for his enjoyment. And boy does he enjoy making some noise with these.


And, much to Mom's amazement (and dismay), he discovered the stairs!


And he can climb them! Time to get a gate.


More pictures of the owies. Also...he's getting his 3rd tooth. Not on the top like most kids, but next to his 2 bottom teeth. Strange...


Just spending some quality time with Harley.

Okay, so can he get any cuter?

He is a doll! Poor guy. It can be painful learning to be mobile!

Holy Cow. I bet he is exhausted after taking all these new milestones on all at once. He's growing up too fast!!!

I CAN NOT believe how big this little guy is getting, and we haven't even met him yet!!! Slow him down!
