The Final Frontier

Dax has been able to pull himself up for a while, he rarely does it though. And he's willing to walk anywhere you want him to, just as long as he's holding on to you. Almost 3 mos. ago I panicked when I saw him grab hold of the rails and try to pull himself up then, so in the middle of the night I put his crib at the lowest setting. Though I still believe better safe than sorry, I had nothing to worry about for a while. I wondered (though not looking forward to) when he'd start standing up in the crib. Well, tada!

Clint had put him down, and after 5 minutes Dax started crying (something he only does when he's not ready to go to sleep). When Clint opened the door, this is what he saw.

Here's a video of the ordeal (just double click on it)

Though it's exciting that it won't be long now before he's taking his 1st steps unassisted, I have to admit a little part of my heart sunk when I saw him standing there. 1. It reminds me that he's growing so fast; and 2. I'm probably going to be a bit paranoid for quite sometime about him trying to climb out and topple over out of the crib head first. Oh well, guess it's back to checking on him 3-4 times in the middle of the night...

Just kidding, I'm not that bad. Or, maybe I will be. ; )

Oh and another special thing Dax did this week. Big boy fed himself. It was quite a messy ordeal but precious nonetheless. I'll post pictures later. Maybe when I'm not covered in food myself and able to hold the camera with out it getting sticky. ha ha.
