He has also started moving around - all the time! He has not quite mastered the art of crawling; however, he has mastered the art of belly scooting. He uses both arms and both big toes to propel himself forward. He has become rather speedy as well. If I would just spray his tummy with a little floor cleaner, he would be a huge help on cleaning day :)
The other, not so enjoyable, skill is learning to pull up to standing. This skill seems to be best performed in his crib. The two major problems with this are...he does not know how to sit back down and he likes to practice during nap time and occasionally in the middle of the night (i.e. 4am)! So, once Ryan has stood himself up, he screams frantically while hanging on for dear life until we go get him. Hopefully soon, he will learn to get back down on his own. This picture is taken during nap time while he should be sleeping and he is a rather sad boy.
We love watching Ryan grow and accomplish each new skill.
oh no! not the middle of the night! look how sad and sweaty he is in that last picture. Poor baby! I hope he learns how to plop back down real fast. maybe you can just push him over sometimes :). Cute updates!!
ReplyDeleteThey grow up too fast!! Max is crawling everywhere and has learned to get up the stairs and he, of course, has to follow his sister everywhere - especially up the stairs! He is also standing at anything - frequently choosing the corner or the most mobile object to pull up on! His new favorite thing is refusing to lie down or lean back to drink his bottle - this would be okay until the end of the bottle when he has to tilt his head back so far that he falls backward!! Ryan is absolutely adorable - love the touchdown "dance"!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh he is such a big boy...it goes so fast. I laught out loud at his crawling soooo funny
