The Life of Stephen

Yep that’s right, Stephen now has three teeth. Two on the bottom and 1 up top. This should make those feedings a little more risky for mommy. I don’t envy her on that one. Anyway I have fallen behind on the posts of late and am trying to make up for some lost time. Not to worry, you have not missed anything amazing like Stephen riding a unicycle or regularly beating experts at chess. He’s still on the ground for the most part, just that now he’s moving. A lot.

Crawling started about 3 weeks ago and it’s been excitement ever since. I had planned on capturing some video of him crawling but a broken videocamera has pushed that date off for a little bit. The game has totally changed and we are finding ourselves constantly on our toes. It’s great to see Stephen race across the room, his face is smiling the whole time. Watching him barely miss edges of furniture, and walls is another story. His latest trick is to pull himself up and stand there using a chair, coffee table or my leg for balance. While this is cute, he hasn’t quite got the priciples of gavity and physics mastered. So there is always a chance for him to fall into something. All part of the learning.

More posts from the holidays to follow shortly.
