little mover

thom pulled a side table over onto himself yesterday.  i suppose it was only a matter of time...  

it was a lightweight table from ikea so no major damage done.  in fact, thom didn't even cry.  but the table is gonna have to go away until thom stops using furniture to pull himself up.  maybe we can find something a little heavier until the table can make a return.  

he has been crawling like a madman, pulling himself up to his knees, and then pulling up to standing for the past week or so.  

 can you see this picture?  it's dark because i went into thom's room when he was supposed to be napping.  but instead of napping i found him awake, up on his knees, holding on to the bars of his crib and talking away to himself.  little stinker. 

other things he likes to do instead of sleeping?  sing to himself.  again, sorry for the darkness.  if you make the video large, you can see two little white spots (his socks) kicking around.

but really, he is quite a little mover now.  here he goes, crawling up the step on the balcony into the home.  he did it all himself!  

 

and look! he pulled himself up using the tub while i was getting ready in the morning.

in other news, thom now feeds himself finger foods.  we started with saltines, then cheerios, and now he's tried lots of different textured foods.  mashed potatoes, mango chunks, noodles with red sauce, and even scrambled eggs this morning!  yes, this little boy loves to eat and really seems to like to feed himself.  i sense an independent streak... 

am i the only person who finds this stuff interesting?  haha, well maybe he will one day enjoy looking back at the chronicles of his baby-hood and thank me for posting all these mundane videos.  that's the hope.  :)

and finally, on a non-thom related note, chris had his birthday earlier this month!  we had a nice romantic dinner at carrabba's, then went go-kart racing!  and thom and i spent our first night away from each other.  yep, one of chris' birthday presents was a full night of sleep!  thom slept over at grandma and grandpa thomas' house.  he was a good boy and slept really well for them, but honestly, it was a little weird for me being home at night and not having him there.  weird but wonderful, too.  i loved sleeping in.  :)

pardon me... i can't seem to make normal faces for self-portraits.

happy birthday, love!
