Ian is on the move!

Ian has been rolling all over the floor for the past month now. He has figured out how to manuever himself to get what he wants. Now he has discovered a few more things. He has mastered the art of sitting up by himself. He loves to sit up in the bathtub and splash. He still loses his balance when he reaches too far for a toy. He tried to go swimming after a rubber duck the other day. Luckily I caught him before he got more than a little water in his nose. Today I saw him pull himself around for the first time. He is starting to do the army crawl and can push himself off with his legs. Now the fun stuff will begin. He loves to get into everything so now that he is getting a little more mobile it's gonna be a full time job keeping him out of stuff. I just need to block off the whole living room so he can't escape anywhere. This is definately going to be an adventure with him. His favorite things to get are remotes, games controllers, cell phones, and computers. Boy can he throw a fit if you don't let him have it. We're really in for it if he stays this way.....we may not make it through the terrible two's when the time comes. He also likes to pull things out of bags on boxes. I have two big cans (the ones you get around Christmas with popcorn in them) and I have a bunch of his toys in them and I lay them down and let him pull everything out....that keeps him occupied for a few minutes.
He is going to be such a stinker but he's already getting that impish grin that will be irresistable and make it impossible to get mad at him...he's already tried it a few times when he is cruising to the cords and plugs. But he is such a sweet boy, he loves giving Mommy nice slobberry kisses and then first thing he does when he wakes up is reach up and touch my face and start making soft noises. Awww!!!! I love my little guy!!!!
