I mentioned in my last post that Maddox has started focusing on objects. Here is a video of Mads checking out his Pack ‘n Play mobile:
There’s a little smile, and then he notices Mom filming him, realizes he’s not being held/fed/adored and bursts into tears.
It doesn’t last long though – I rewound the mobile, and he’s happy again:
And here is our little monkey with his little monkey – thanks Aunties Cass & Tess!
It’s funny how something completely mundane is amazing when it’s your kid doing it. Mads does something new every day, simply because he’s new to everything and there’s so much to experience.
Today, he learned to sleep on his side. Yes. He is clearly a genius.
He can also push himself up so his head will peek at you. Very adorable, although he makes these little frustrated sounds when he does it. This is because he can scoot with his legs and lift with his arms, but he hasn’t figured out how to do both at once and actually get anywhere yet.
We figure that once he starts moving around, he will be unstoppable. We will have to get a bunch of cord covers for all our wiring. Luckily, Mom likes hardware and power tools, so this should actually be pretty fun.
Right now, he’s sacked out from eating, so I’m using the time to write a post. It’s also funny how quickly you get used to getting things done in between taking care of the baby – everything else is suddenly secondary.
It’s kind of nice, though – we’re both finding that we get a lot more done these days, because it’s impossible to procrastinate. If you don’t do it now, in this open time slot, you might not get another one!
