I'm just not ready for this....
Jakob's definitely on the move. He's crawling more confidently, and more quickly too.
But, I'm not sure the crawling stage will last long. On Friday, soon after we arrived in Twillingate, he pushed himself up by pressing his hands onto my mother's suitcase (which, sensing danger, she had laid flat). She came calling to us that he had stood up. I couldn't believe it, but before long he did it in front of me, too.
My little boy stood up.
Well, pulled himself up, using his hands, but still using his hands for support he was able to stand and balance.
He's been doing it more and more often, and getting stronger each time. He'll be cruising in no time, I'm afraid.
I'm definitely not ready for it. For one thing, there's the logistics. Here, I don't have a playpen or exersaucer or anywhere else to put Jakob for a moment to keep him safe. (There are lots of hands wanting to hold him, though.) But when we get home - for only a couple of weeks - we'll have to leave again. I really don't want to have to babyproof the house for what will really be only a handful of days. And those flights - already long with a little one - are going to feel even longer with a little one who wants to be on the move.
Most of all, though, I can't believe he's crawling. I'm not ready for him to be crawling. I'm not ready for him to be growing up.
