This week promises to be incredibly hectic at work, mostly because my manager is gone and I’m filling in for her as well as attending a Proposal prep class for an upcoming proposal (I’m SO psyched about this; my heart truly lies in proposal work.. I’m a sadist that way).  I’m worried that I won’t have enough time to post and NaBloPoMo will be a complete disaster.  I’ve done SO WELL thus far.

Anyway, time to fall back on a list.

WAYS MY CHILD IS GROWING UP TOO FAST, by Sarah Brown:

• He woke up from a nap on Sunday and decided that, you know, now is a good time to start REALLY crawling.  Not alligator scooting, but up-on-the-knees crawling.
• He is weaning himself from the bottle.  We didn’t see this coming, but all of a sudden, he’s decided to only take a bottle in the morning, one at noonish, and one before bed.  That’s it.  He would just rather have REAL food, thank you very much.
• He has figured out that objects can be placed into one another.  His new favorite toy?  An empty Mt. Dew box, which can hold a myriad of objects.
• If you ask for “cuddles”, he’ll snuggle in under your chin.  That’s not a bad thing, but it makes me think that it’s a phase that will end eventually.
• His new favorite game is to crawl away from you.  Great when you’re playing, sucky when you’re not.  Pretty much cute every time, regardless.
• He is wearing some 2T clothes.  Comfortably.

Don’t get me wrong; he’s still an incredibly fun and amazing baby.  Last night, while I cleaned out his drawers and his daddy put a mural on the wall, he sat in his crib, giggling and laughing and roaring as we worked.  He’s just so amazing that I don’t ever want him to grow up.

Of course, I also can’t wait to see the amazing little person he becomes.
