A mover and a Shaker

Ty Michael is on the move--literally. You just can't set him down without him moving around. He's getting fast too. He's been doing the roll over thing both ways for a while now, but just this last week I witnessed how quickly he can get himself from Point A to Points B, C and Beyond! He gets in the "regulation" crawl position, but just kind of rocks back and forth or he'll get up on his toes and stretch himself out like he's going to do a push-up. Then he changes his mind, drops down and "army crawls" using his arms. Right now he's doing a great job of dusting the floor as he moves to reach whatever is his objective!

He's also a shaker too. He's really enjoying all kinds of rattles, clanky keys, etc. He'll bang them around, shake them and invariably drop them; waiting for an obliging adult to pick them up. He's so fun to watch.

Now we're really going to need to baby-proof everything at our house. I remember getting on my hands and knees when OUR children were little and seeing things from a child's point of view, seeing what we needed to move, cover, etc.. We might be "kid friendly" but we're definitely not "child proof" yet!

He is growing so much... if you need any help in testing how child-proof things are, just give Brooke a call. She can be your "tester."
