The great (nearly) escape

My boy is getting bigger and more agile every day. It started off only a few weeks ago with the grabbing hold of the table and using every shaking muscle in his body peer over the top and a little hand appeared grabbing at coffees, letters and everything else in his reach.

Within a week or so he was pulling himself up and trying to climb on top of the table (the look on his face is a picture, so proud of himself) so now coffees and everything else has pride of place under the table and everything else hidden out of sight.

But the latest of Tinos antics is trying to climb out of his walker, he can put his feet on the side of his walker and dangle himself over to pick up what ever objects are left on the floor, or like the other day a log of wood from the floor next to the fire place was lifted onto the tray of his walker! i don't know how a baby can have such strength, it was so bloody heavy i couldn't believe what he'd done. And then this morning, he had managed to wriggle himself downwards out of his high chair he was just about touching the floor! he had managed to do all of this in the time the kettle had boiled.

Hes suppose to be a baby and i don't even see him like that anymore he is so cunning and clever and wants to do everything. I remember people saying to me "cherish every moment when they are so little because it wont last long" and i thought yeah right! life will be far easier when he can get about by himself. My god i was wrong and as much as i hate to admit it they where right..... Wheres my little baby gone someones replaced him with this grown up little boy!
