Jitter Bug  

Posted by iBcHiRo

I have to give a little update on Austen to those of you who are not close enough to see him. As you can see in the Easter picture he is adorable, and he is a happy little kid. What you can't see, is his mischief side. He loves crawling and moving everywhere, especially to things that he can grab onto to so he can pull himself up. Most of the time it's fun to watch. But it also creates problems. Bonked heads and bruises.
He has pretty good balance, but still has had four bruises on his face and forehead in the past month. Falling is pretty much the norm now, the poor little kid can take a beating (from the floor and chairs, not us). I am now having problems trying to change his clothes and his diaper. He wont lay still and always has to look over the edge of the changing table at who knows what...the floor maybe? He now has an interest in cords, so lamp cords or computer cords are exciting. I can just imagine a floor lamp falling over on top of him if I'm not paying attention. He gets into everything and it's even getting harder at church. He wont sit still! He wants to jump and move around the whole sacrament meeting! Going from Mike to me, to Mike and then to me again like he can't make up his mind. I gets tiring. He is always a happy boy though, that is one of the many things I am grateful for. I guess curiosity takes over from here on out, can't wait for the walking to start! Any advice is welcome :)

Jack sugggested that you talk to Mama Chan about how she handled Mike in such situations. He sounds like his Father's son!

Sounds like you guys are getting into that fun busy stage. It is great for at home because they keep themselves busy, but church can be a beast. Thank Heavens for nursery once they get to that age. Good Luck.

I got your blog off Brian and Rebecca's and figured we didn't get to see you enough so this will help us keep tabs on the little guy.
