Little Mover

Thankfully the little dude has been delivering laughs and hugs throughout our visit home, and overall just brightening things up.

He learned how to walk around the coffee table at my parents house. I've said it before but it is really amazing to watch him learn.

The first day we got here he was trying to figure out how to pull up; next day it was successfully navigating the turn at the corner; this video is day three and he is motoring along fast as ever. He even falls down and pops right back up to continue on the journey.

Hubby - this one is for you. We miss you, hurry back to OH.

Up, Up, Up

The adventure continues ... Ben loves all the low shelves, drawers, and furniture because if he can reach and pull up, he can work into a stand and achieve an entirely new perspective of the room.

He isn't picky -- it can be the stove, the rung of the dining room chair, even me when I'm on the ground with him. He isn't happy unless he is on the move. And subsequently there are a lot more bumps, knocks and tumbling over. Thankfully he is so curious, he has little time to slow down for sympathy. We mostly just pretend nothing happened and continue on our journey through the kitchen, into the dining room, off we go!
