New Reality

This has become our reality. Beau has been pulling up on things for a couple weeks now, but he always had to be in the perfect position, with something to grab that he could get his whole hand around. Not anymore! He now can pull up on anything and it is all he wants to do. No toy is good enough unless he can be standing up to play with it. He can even walk his hands up the fridge to stand up (he especially likes this because he can see his reflection in the fridge...2 favorites...can't get much better than that!) Unfortunately all this pulling up has meant he got his first bumps and bruises on his head. He tries to pull himself to standing in his crib, but I think the gaps between the bars trip him up causing a blood curdling scream to emerge from his room.

Here is a picture of the bruise he got on his eyebrow.

(yeah, yeah I know it is tiny, and you can barely see it, but hey it was traumatic for us!).

P.S. Just so everyone is not thinking I let my kid stare at a TV screen that is 2 inches away from his face...I did shut it off after taking the picture. This resulted in one angry little boy pounding his hands on the TV stand, screaming, and reaching out to hit it (as if smacking it around would make the people come back. I had to laugh and said "no Beau you only hit the TV when it turns green!").
