Frog Man

Hayden and I ran some “getting ready to leave” errands this morning. Hit the ATM, picked up my pants from the cleaners and got something to eat. Supplies are low since we’ll be leaving town in a day.

After all those activities, Hayden and I hung around the apartment today. Couldn’t sit on my hands any longer and started packing! I’m that ready to leave! I kept thinking I don’t have that much to pack. But surprisingly once you get it all together it starts to add up. Did my final load of wash by hand and hung them on the line to dry. Did a dance of joy around the apartment chanting “no more washing by hand”!! Hayden didn’t quite understand what was going on!

I’m amazed when I sit back and look at him now. He has learned to do so many things in such a short time. He’s now crawling and can get to anything he wants. He sits up on his own, and can crawl forward from sitting. Just recently he learned how to get back into a sit from the crawl position. He’s trying so hard to stand up on his own. If you hold out your fingers, he’ll grab onto them and then will lift up, takes a few steps towards you all while holding on. He’s still really wobbly when standing but he’s coming along. He lifts up with his legs with his hands on the ground a lot, the tri pod stance; goes up and down and sometimes this is how he gets around. He looks so much like a frog from behind that I’ve dubbed him the frog man! Pic attached.

He’s a happy fellow, smiles a lot and has that big open mouth smile/laugh going on in the pics I was able to catch today. It’s so hard with these digital cameras, they need a faster shutter speed designed to catch the kids in action!

Tuesday can’t get here fast enough for me, another day down with only one more to go – then it’s off to Almaty!
