A strange binky


I'm sure that most of you that read this blog know about our little blue binky.

We have 5 of them now, because they don't often last more than a day.

Oh, how they stink -and you don't care a bit.

You just want your blue elephant.

One small step for man...

More like, a few small steps for baby.

So, I wouldn't say that you're walking quite yet. But, you've taken too many steps to not write a post (and maybe tell a few grandparents).

As a recap- the same day you stated crawling, you pulled yourself up and stood. I was worried we wouldn't get any crawling time, and you'd be walking already.

That wasn't quite the case, you are a MASTER crawler. You do this funny sideways and almost one-legged crawl on the hardwood or other hard services. You can crawl super-fast, especially when you see something you want (like an open door or fridge). And, you can also crawl upstairs, and would do it alot more often if we didn't pull you back down so quickly.

You've been cruising along furniture almost since you started crawling as well and have been getting more daring. I've seen you, on several occasions, take one step away from the couch (or wall) but then you just fall down. To be honest, you're so determined to just get wherever you want to actually be, I don't think you care in the slightest how you actually get there. And, you also just assume you CAN get there.

But today without me really even paying attention to you, you absolutely took three (yes, 3) steps away from a chair and then fell down. Justin said you took a few steps like that last night too.

Look out world, here comes Hyrum! Ummm... about the toe biting? I'm sure you'll be embarrased of this later, but kid, you LOVE to bit toes!
