Many changes have happened with Charlie over the past few weeks, He has begun to walk on his own. He will take a few steps here and there, but does not quite have the confidence to run around completely on his own. He can climb a couch or your leg like a Chimpanzee. He grabs your hand and looks up at you as if to say, "Come on. Let's walk."
Tonight he took about 12 steps on his own. Some went forward, some went backward and a few went sideways. His balance is incredible. He can sit from a standing position and catch himself when he falls. If his feet were not twice the normal size for his age, walking might be a bit easier. The boy is almost 11 months old and wears a size 6! Is that normal?
Mr. Destructo is in to everything that he can reach. If he can not reach it he will do everything that he can to get to it. He climbs, tip-toes or just pushes the blockade over to get into mischief. The poor child has bumps and bruises from falling, flipping and just being outright reckless. He has pulled the palm rest off of my desk and turned it in to a jousting sword.
I have baby proofed the kitchen cabinets, but Smarty Pants has almost figured out how to bypass the security measures that are in place. He might even end up being a record breaking mountain climber with the speed and grace that he has applied to scaling the steps. One good thing is that climbing the stairs wears him out. I just ordered baby mountain climbing equipment so that we can just rig him to the steps and let him go. Okay, I'm just kidding, he is tough and does not need climbing equipment to protect him. Alright, just kidding again. He is not allowed to scale the steps without supervision.
A lot of changes are happening and at an incredible rate. Babies grow way too fast. It does not seem like he should be turning one in a month. We have begun our Christmas and Birthday shopping for Charlie. Both days are one in the same so budgeting is a nightmare for December. Charlie is the only child, only grandchild and only nephew. The kid is spoiled and we already buy him everything that he reaches for. I hope that we can keep our spending under control this year. I may have to add on to the house to make room for the toys. We already bought him a ball pit that is going to take up half of the living room, but I know that he will love it.
