And he's up ...

I knew it was just a matter of time, but I didn't think that Rhys would learn how to stand up in his crib quite so soon after just getting to kneeling.  He did though!  I think he's pretty pleased about it too.

Not that it's helping him to go to sleep very quickly ...

"Nah, I don't think it's time to go to bed yet ..."

"There's still too much to do!"

And then he's right back up in the morning .... 




He's getting kind of hard to keep up with!

Folding Laundry

Crawling has definitely inspired Rhys towards greater mobility.  He's also now pulling himself to kneeling in his crib, which he definitely enjoys, but is not so conducive to falling asleep!

More and more, he just wants to be in the middle of everything.  So, the other day when I was bringing up clean laundry from the laundry room, I put him in the laundry basket ...  

He hasn't quite gotten the hang of folding yet, but at least for now, he seemed pretty pleased to be hanging out there.  

Crawling!

While visiting Uncle Dwight in West Virginia, Rhys not only went on his first hike, but also reached another milestone: crawling!  Nana and Grandpa Jeff (who you can see in the video) were there to witness it as well.

He's been thinking about crawling for awhile and doing a lot of rocking back and forth on his hands and knees, but he has now put it all together!  It's really a micro-crawl in the video, but he's pretty proud of himself and I think it looks like he's tagging the wall when he's gets there to prove that he did it.  ;-)
