Jelly Bean Can Stand

Our little lady can now pull herself into standing. I'm just not ready for this. She is though and she is so proud every time she does it. Just like her brother.

The first time she accomplished her new trick.

The worst part of her standing is when she runs out of strength and then falls backwards like a rotten tree, cracking her head. Man, it looks painful. The best part is how darn proud she is, calling for us to look and cheer her on.

Writing her first email. 

This lady. Glorious.

Video: So Much in So Little Time

It's been an exciting, busy couple of days: PJ has started sitting on his own; really crawling around the apartment; and pulling himself up all around the apartment. Oh, and did I mention he cut two more teeth and is enjoying his first running nose?

Yeah, it's been a little crazy around here. Here is some video proof, look carefully and you'll catch the new teeth and the snot, along with the crawling, standing, and laughing.

I'm a proud mommy!

7 Months!

Who gave this kid permission to turn seven months old?? Seven months is clearly closer to turning one year old than just being born. Turning seven months old also means that we are just one month away from the Mr starting his parental leave. Yeah! But that also means that we are only two months away from when I return to work. Does anyone else wonder where all the time is going?

The past few days have been full of new and exciting  experiences. For example, this past weekend little man got to meet an even littler man who is just as interested and engaged in the world at a tender age. Check out those eyes! 

Then just yesterday we got to spend some quality time with Oma. PJ learned the joy of flying on his little belly, safe in warm arms.

And, as all good (half) German kids should, PJ discover beer! The first day he was more interested in the sound of the bottles jingling against each other...

 

...but by day two he repurposed the crate into his own standing prop. This marks the first time that a crate full of empty beer bottles helped someone stand up straight. And aint he proud?

Happy seven months, Little Farter. You are the best little guy ever.
