(Not so) Wordless Wednesday

It was a bittersweet moment, but I was excited nonetheless. J crawling. J standing. How amazing. How cool that he could explore the world . . . and change my life forever with such a seemingly simple knee/leg/arm movement. But it has . . .

I've been away from the computer (except for that late night Idol post) for the last few days. J is perfecting crawling and has decided to find anything and everything he can to climb. I can't look away for a moment. I've missed you . . . I'll be back when J goes off to college soon.

Until then . . . here's what has been going on (I have only the time it takes for J to devour a Mum Mum cracker to write this, so bear with me).

The rare moment he isn't moving. Oh, peaceful floor play. How I miss thee . . .

LOVES this toy. LOVES it. But, you can't turn away for even a second.

I couldn't resist. And, once I put him in (I know, bad idea), he didn't really want out.

Eeek. He's almost done with the cracker . . . must hurry.

This is from our adventure to the Columbus Zoo on Monday. The boy in the picture (his silhouette) is my friend's son. Both of her boys are so adorable and watching them was like watching J at two and four years old! WOW! Their momma amazes me . . .

See how this momma is RIGHT behind her baby? Well, that's like me and J. Constant attention. Oh, momma, I feel ya. Cracker is devoured. Must go . . .

Happy Wednesday!

My daughter's class went to the Columbus Zoo yesterday, and last night she nearly blew a fuse telling me all about her day. Wait until that phase starts! Constant chatter!

Happy WW!!

Laski said...

AFF--I'll get to them--promise. I am typing this with squirmy 9 month old in hand. How do people do this with more than 1?

He's precious!

ThreeBills said...

reminds me of the Trace Adkins song, You're gonna miss this. pretty soon you look back and the time has just flown by...

Lindsey said...

They grow up way too fast.

Baby J is absolutely adorable. I want him:)

Misty said...

You're entering a new phase.... a treasured one for sure, but with new demands. Nothing stays the same for long, huh??

Angie @ KEEP BELIEVING said...

I know. And life as you know it will never be the same.

Mighty Morphin' Mama said...

Awesome photos!
I so feel for you, the climbing/crawling stage is so MUCH. It does settle a bit as they get used to the moving around and learn their boundaries. by like 2. ugh.

Lori said...

he is too cute! and yes it will get harder. personally I learned to only go on-line during nap time and after he goes to bed at night... now when I have 2... who knows!

Sandy M said...

Love the one in the laundry basket. Great shots. Happy WW!

Karen MEG said...

Yay!!!! Great pictures of the little one ... and the shot at the Columbus zoo is great too!
Yes, he will be RUNNING soon... treasure these moments!

Mom said...

Aw it just gets better and better!

Jenn @ Juggling Life said...

One thing about my never-quit-moving boy was that he slept well--he exhausted not only me, but himself as well.

Blessings From Above said...

Hooray to J for crawling!!!
Adorable...

Meg said...

Great shots! There's a nice zoo in Toledo, too (with a baby polar bear).

Momisodes said...

I adore those photos! I miss that age already. Some exciting times lay ahead with walking :) Fabulous shot from the zoo :)

Wineplz said...

so you're sayin' I can just pick up a new baby at the grocery store?

cool!

(adorable pics...and yes, you won't have any rest until J's in bed for naps/bedtime...you won't need that treadmill!)

Mrs.Naz@BecomingMe said...

So cute. And I so get you.

MarĂ­a said...

I miss crawling. :( Enjoy it! Doesn't last long.

KG said...

Sumo LOVES those Mum Mum things. The're awesome!

just jamie said...

Oh boy. Imagine it with twins ... :)

CC said...

Awwww! He's growing up so fast!

Kristen said...

My favorite line......Cracker devoured, gotta run.

Yes, blogging is a nap and nite, nite thing in our house.

So cute he is walking, and I just love that picture of him sitting in the cart. Too cute!! :)

Have fun playing with J.

Kat said...

Now the fun starts! It might be a bit more difficult to reign him in, but he also gets to be loads more fun too. There is so much you can do with him at this age. I love this age. Enjoy it!!!

Pregnantly Plump said...

What fun pics! And as a bonus, you get lots of extra exercise in just chasing him around!

Kamis Khlopchyk said...

Life changes when they start crawling and just when you settle into that?

They start walking!

:-)

He's so cute! Enjoy his cuteness :-)

Lindsey said...

Oh he looks so big in the aquarium picture!!! He's adorable.

Wendi said...

He is the cutest!
I can only blog late at night when the kids are in bed.
Impossible otherwise.

Lori said...

No more rest for Mommy! ha!

Amy said...

Your life will never be the same, but you already knew this! It only gets BETTER! Enjoy every second.

Family Adventure said...

Great shots, and way to go little man!

Happy WW!

So, so sweet! Yep, your life as you know it is now changed forever! But in a good way.

tommie said...

Columbus?? How close are you to Columbus? We will be there a bit before the 4th of July .....email me.....tla708@yahoo.com

Texasholly said...

I love the aquarium picture...so cute.

Good luck to you in this stage!

Karen said...

How fun! There's no going back now, and life will never be the same.

Unknown said...

Ok, we have like all the same toys as you! My baby just got that play cube for his b-day! And the grocery cart, well that has been in EVERY room of my house and even my 4-year old likes to sit in it.

Good luck with that mover you got there!!

Marmarbug said...

Too answer your question about how people do it with more than one - when you find out let me know. I am terrified to have another knowing how much I run around all ready!!!!

As Cape Cod Turns said...

Totally remember being able to put them in a spot and come back in 10 minutes and they would still be there. Wait till he starts running, I mean walking!

Aunt Becky said...

AWWW! So cute!

JK said...

So, you have been busy? Enjoy your crawling, standing days with J.

tulipmom said...

I completely understand the bittersweet part.

As for how people manage with two, I'm already wondering how in the world I am going to chase Tulipbaby around while getting SB to finish his homework ... that should be fun next year!

J. looks so cute in the Little Tikes shopping cart. SB has this crazy idea that he's going to put Tulipbaby in the front part where kids sit .... you know, kids who CAN HOLD UP THEIR OWN HEADS!! Oy vey! Needless to say, we had a long talk about why that would be extremely unsafe.
