Our grand baby's in a video at five months old. Still rolling around trying to navigate himself on the couch. Getting a little frustrated because he could not do things for himself. We spend countless hours playing with him. He moves around playing with his hands and feet. Not quite able to maintain his grasp on with his pacifier. He is till in the baby stage where he depends on others to aid him. You can see the determination in his face to do more. You can hear it in his voice too.
A few weeks after this video his mom and dad came over to visit. They put him on the floor and I noticed he was crawling. I asked Cheyna "Why didn't you tell me he was crawling"? Cheyna and I usually talk, text or email each other during the week. She goes "Is that crawling"? I said "of coarse". She was so shocked. She said she thought he was just scooting around. She did not think it was crawling. What? That was so funny. She really did not know. I told her "Our baby is crawling!!!
We all laughed because we were so happy.
We love every minute of watching him crawl around exploring his new found world. He will look back at you with such a sweet smile on his face as he continually go on his little way. One word he doesn't like is when we say "No". That only happens when he goes after something he doesn't need. Then he will curl his little lips up and crawl quickly back to you with a little sad look on his face like he is going to cry. You just can't resist giving him a big fat hug.
He is getting to be such a big boy. He will crawl up to you and tug at your leg like he wants you to pick him up. He pulls up around the couch and coffee table and play as long as he can. He picks up his own pacifier and put it in his mouth. He can also hold his bottle and his toys. I can almost swear his naps are longer too. We cannot get enough of him. He is so adorable.
It took a while to get over him getting older. His cousin used to crawl up and down the staircase when he was probably eight or nine months old. It was the craziest thing you ever wanted to see.
I missed our first grand baby sleeping and snuggling with us, learning to walk, talk and all that good stuff. I wonder if he will be crawling up and down the staircase too?
I used to tease our daughter about having another baby. Little did we know our son would be having a baby before she would have a second one.
We are very happy to have another grand baby around the house. Alex and Cheyna say they plan to have more babies. I think that would be wonderful!! We are very blessed.
