Shuffling

Ian appears to be on the verge of furniture cruising. Gah! He's only 7.5 months old! He shuffles his feet while moving sideways along our leather ottoman. This is a new development because he used to just keep his feet in one spot while reaching for the TV clicker/phone and then fall over. Now he is shuffling his feet to move closer to the object of his desire. I think he'll be walking soon enough. We already have him wearing his first pair of shoes from StrideRite - a pair of size 4 sneakers. They look awfully cute on him. Too bad it's $40 for a pair of shoes that won't fit him in 2 more months.

I tried to eat breakfast this morning while watching Ian. Just as I was pouring cereal into a bowl, he crawled right past me, picked up the cat's water bowl and emptied it all over the floor. Good times. He was very pleased with himself and I could only laugh.

*We received TWO incident reports from daycare today. Ian, once again, hit his head on the toy bin and he also hit his head on the door. According to daycare, he is currently the most active (and clutzy!) child in his room. They can't get to him quickly enough! Let's hope he learns how to balance while standing soon or he's going to be in for lots of bumps and bruises.
