My Last Baby

I have four boys the youngest is 1 year old.

He is very busy and wants to run after all the other kids. He is walking now. and running.....

He gets very upset that he cannot run. He walks everywhere.

When he tries to walk he side steps and screams or smiles with his tongue out. Gone is the commando crawl and the his bottom hiked into the air.

He screams. He is pulls himself up on everything he can get a hold of....

He foot shuffles along the couch now and crawls faster than one can keep up with. He always acts so proud of himself....

He loves :::

I hear in my dreams This way that way ELMO>>>>

He Smiles at this Bear, Laughs and bites his nose

He likes to Laugh, Scream and throw the balls.

We don't own this but he would love it we have a smaller version....

The Bear Went Over The Mountain Half Guitar Half Piano Great Toy

Very durable the 22 month old walks on it. It has also survived the 5 year old.

He is Growing

Out of all of my sons he has the biggest temper. He reminds me of Jack Jack off of The Incredibles.

He grits his teeth and turns red and screams he just has not turned into fire man or steel baby.

He is great though. He has concurred crawling and now has graduated to pulling him self up and walking along everything. From walls to Christmas Trees . He loves going into the older brothers bedroom and acting like a big dog.

He is great of course he is mine so I am bias. It is funny how everyone who meets him think she is such a happy baby. They don't do not know the Jack Jack side of him. But that is ok......

The Christmas Tree is up and oh the fun has begun.

My 9 month old son is so funny he will get himself wedge up against the wall or the book shelf in his attempts to get a toy. He then yells at me or does a deep crocodile style growl and waits for me to look. When I acknowledge him he brings his shoulders up, cocks his head to the side and smiles and goes on about his business. He was just checking, making sure I was paying attention to him.

Any other time he says Ma, Ma, Ma, and shows his cheesy grin and goes on about his mischief. I also have a 10 year old, a 5 year old and a very active 20 months old. The toddler Eli encourages my youngest Garrett by patting him on the back and hugging him which does not always make things better and telling him "No" his favorite word next to "Oh No".

Children are gifts. There trial and tribulations that they go through are funny to watch but sometime heart breaking. We want to go through them instead of them. When I watch my Baby as he tries to learn to crawl, Battling the forces that push him backwards instead of forward which is where he wants to go, I have to chuckle and think that will be the least of his worries, but like the other three my husband and I will be there to watch him and help him go through them. So will you with yours.

Double Trouble

Today I had to rearrange my entire kitchen and dining area, not because I was bored, but because my Toddler decided he was interested in baking. And when I say INTERESTED, I mean, he discovered that the coffee containers were not sealed and they did not contain coffee.Instead they contained flour, sugar and other baking bulk goods. After taking the containers off the 3 tiered shelf, he opened one can, before I could get to him and dumped it on the floor.

BUSY BUSY TOYS

After I took the cans from him and replaced them on the shelf , in a whirlwind of activity, that only lasted seconds, he emptied the shelf and decide to use it for a ladder. After scolding him, as much as one can , I again fixed the shelf and returned the containers and YES once again he emptied it and dragged the shelf into the living room. This is why I have regained at least 40 square feet of floor space and why I now have a more organized and redecorated kitchen....
