Milestone Week

This week two big things happened.  Connor cut his first tooth and he became mobile.  We've been waiting on these things for quite some time.  His pedi told us at his 4 month appointment that he was teething, so of course any fussiness for the past 6 months has been due to teething.  Well, apparently not!  His tooth finally arrived a few days before turning 10 months old.  And mobility--ahhh sweet mobility.  I say that now, because for the past 3 months or so I've been slightly anxious about why he seems so content to stay put when babies his age and younger are crawling all around him.  Now he army crawls all over the house, and I can take a deep breath and relax.

Lesson learned: Connor is an individual and he does not go by a book.  He has his own time for doing things.  He's perfectly normal and healthy and just right.  I can simply enjoy each day and each milestone, because time really does go by so quickly.  Pretty soon I'll be running all over the house, chasing a little boy who was once content to sit and take toys out of a bucket one by one.  For now I get to watch him explore everything he can for the first time.  Fun!

Big boy!
