Mobile Milestones (aka Monday Madness)

Wow- once mobile starts, it grows... quickly. For a couple of weeks now, Brody has been doing an army type crawl. It gets him the limited amount of space that he wants to go, and when he gets too frustrated, he screams like a banshee and someone comes and rescues him. (Namely, mom... sometimes dad... and always MeMa or PapPap if they are around- because they don't believe in crying babies)

Two days ago, I scared the heck out of Brody, when I expressed (rather loudly) glee at him getting himself up on his hands and toes. (Picture a human bridge) But my glee made him fall, and he hasn't attempted again to push up off of his tummy... until this morning that is. When he did nothing else. Where he started rocking... on his knees... and looked like he was about to take off. Which scares me more than anything. The idea of having to baby proof... more than sticking covers on plugs, quite frankly is quite overwhelming to me. Would it be overreacting to just empty out the entire house- or at least everything that is less than 5 feet off the ground?

I mean seriously- the rocking chair can be rolled under while being used and his poor little arms could be crushed. The couch could be pulled up on and then fallen from. The portable plastic dresser that has taken residence in our living room can be pulled over. I won't even go into the computers and the CORDS that go with them. The list is endless... and yes... overwhelming.

lol. You just wait. Once they're mobile you'll lose 25 pounds in a week. You won't ever sit down for more than 30 seconds at a time ever again.
