will someone please come and convince my son that he needs to slow down.
really.
i'll pay you.......
why? this is what sprout is up to.
* full time tummy up crawl- everywhere. especially where ever you don't want him to go.
* pulling up to stand. mostly at the music table (because that is fun) but other places too.
* has managed to "cruise" around the corner of the music table (fell down once he got around the corner but he did get there on his feet)
* climbed the two steps from our family room to the dinning room (when daddy was supposed to be watching him...... no comment)
* screaming chants of "dah dah dah dah dah" all the dang day long. sigh. he looks me in the eye and says "da da" (he even makes it sound like a question by raising his voice at the end! no, i don't think this is his first word- he doesn't seem to know what it means. he just loves to say it.)
* EVERYTHING goes into his mouth. if it isn't nailed down it will go in his mouth. (i hate this stage. there is nothing worse than digging gross soggy stuff out of their mouths!)
* he claps a lot- sometimes at the strangest times.
* he waved the other day but it hasn't been repeated. i'm not sure he knew what he was doing but he was sitting there all smiley and waving his little hand in the air. :)
* if it looks like it might open, he will try to open it. he has opened three different cabinets and one drawer so far. sigh. i'm not used to this, bean was not an opener!
* he only takes one nap. sometimes that nap is 2.5 hours, sometimes it is 25 minutes. OH MY GOODNESS!!
PLUS
bean is starting to get jealous. sprout needs more attention now (because of his daredevil ways) and she doesn't like it. and since naptime is always up in the air she isn't getting the one on one time she was used to getting before. she doesn't get mad at sprout though, she gets mad at me. yay!
so yeah, if you think that you can slow things down over here let me know. mama needs a break and she is willing to pay good money for it.
crap! i don't have any money.
will you take food as payment???

Yeesh! He's a crazy man! I feell your pain on the into everything stage. B was not that way and G was. It's hard when you are not used to that!
Oh my! It sounds like he keeps you hopping!
i feel you, my friend! i'd gladly swap kiddos with you if we were closer!
That boy is a mover and a shaker isn't he?! Nadia has always been that way, so I sorta know how you're feeling - but I didn't have an older one to deal with, too! Well, anytime you want to pop by with the kiddos I'm happy to give you a break! No food or money necessary. ;o)
Best of luck slowing him down! If you find out to do that please share your secret! :)
Oh mercy, I should have read this post before asking if Sprout is ever awake! He really does seem to have places to go and things to do and he is getting there as fast as he can isn't he?
