Why have we not posted in almost a week? Because Michael is becoming more and more mobile and I can't just let him lay somewhere. He will, within minutes, get into something he's not supposed to in our apartment, AKA Dangerous Baby Land. We are BEHIND in the babyproofing!
So I am spending most of my days making sure Michael does not eat the wires, pull down the fan, or eat the rug in front of the toilet.

Why have we not posted in almost a week? Because Michael is becoming more and more mobile and I can't just let him lay somewhere. He will, within minutes, get into something he's not supposed to in our apartment, AKA Dangerous Baby Land. We are BEHIND in the babyproofing!
So I am spending most of my days making sure Michael does not eat the wires, pull down the fan, or eat the rug in front of the toilet.
He started really crawling on Tuesday, although not for a long time! He takes about 2-3 bonafide crawling steps, but then goes back to the army crawl.
Michael's favorite toy is paper and books. Give him a sheet of paper, and he's entertained for quite some time! The other day, I had to dig a piece of paper out of his mouth after he ripped a piece off with his teeth.
About a week ago, I put Michael in his pack and play while I cooked. It was amazing because he played with his toys in there for like 20 minutes. And then, the time he would stay in there decreased exponentially. Now, he'll last 3-4 minutes max before crying uncontrollably. Yesterday, I let him cry for 3-4 minutes while I made my sandwich for lunch (and to start teaching him how to deal with a little frustration) and then felt terrible when I picked him up and noticed his entire face was covered with tears and snot. I had to get a washcloth to clean him up. I won't be doing that again.
Love,
