Mobility

It all started when Tyndale would wriggle off of his blanket or rug.

(4 1/2 months)

Then he would unintentionally scoot backwards and end up in funny places, like under the table or couch.

(5 1/2 months)

Then he was able to sit up without support.

(He was absolutely fascinated by water bottles. Loved them!) (5 1/2 months)

And finally he was crawling.

(6 months)

At the same time he started crawling, he started doing this funny thing. He does it all the time, but usually his feet are together, and sometimes he puts his head down and his bum goes up really high. I always think in my head, "Gimme an 'A'!"

(6 months)

Funny how we splurged on a soft rug for Tyndale just a week or two before he figured out how to get off of it.

He's so happy being mobile!

In the last few days, he's figured out how to get to the sitting position on his own (one foot forward and one back). And he's also starting to climb and get up on his feet and knees.

(6 1/2 months)

Patiently waiting for breakfast.

Love this cute boy! (6 1/2 months)

Prayer of a Sleep Deprived Mother

I started composing this in my head around 2am one recent morning. . . It progressed (and became a little more exaggerated) as the night went on.

Now I lay me down for the 50th time tonight

I beg and plead that I might sleep alright

And if my boys continue to wake me every quarter hour

I pray that when I wake I won't be grumpy and sour

And when my husband's alarm goes off in not too long

I ask that I not hear the song

Or at least that he won't push snooze time after time

So I can enjoy just a few moments of sleep sublime

Can anyone relate? It's a good thing these little ones come so irresistibly adorable and loveable!
