I'm so not ready for this

Well, for a few weeks now Gideon has been trying to move around the room. He is sitting up all my himself and has been rocking forward to his hands and knees. I thought he was trying to get to a crawling position but when I try to help him he tries to get on his feet. This morning I decided to have him play in his crib while I cleaned up his room and put away some of his clothes. He was doing a great job talking with me and playing with his toys. I was so focused on the clothes that I wasn't paying much attention to what he was doing. I turned to say something to him and this is what I saw.




I can't believe how big my little boy is getting. I called Nathan and let him know we should probably move the mattress down just in case. Last night Gideon pulled himself up to standing in his little duck bath. I was right there holding on to him so he wouldn't fall but he did all the work himself. I guess we'll have a stander before a crawler, maybe even a walker. Like the title of my post, I'm so not ready for this.

I'm also posting some pics we took of his new car seat. He passed the weight limit on his infant seat at 6 months. Doesn't he look like a big boy.


He also did a little swimming in his duck bathtub. I'm not sure he quite understood why his bath was outside.



And this one is just too cute. He loves his stacking cups and laughs so hard when we build the tower for him to knock over. Thank you, Grandma Theresa.


Sorry about some of the pictures being blurry. I don't know what's wrong with my camera but it's been doing this since he was born. Hopefully we'll be able to get a new camera soon and be able to see our baby clearly.

Its about time you got some more pictures on here! we don't get to see him as often as we would like and we LOVE to see how much he is growing up. I can't believe he is pulling up already! He's growing too fast! His seat looks awesome! As for the blurry camera... just tell Nathan you NEED to get a new one. I know how frustrating it can be to have blurry photos. You need to be able to easily capture those precious moments, because you can't re-create them! Miss and Love you guys!

He is such a cute baby! I really like the duck swimming pool! That looks like fun! We need to get together sometime!

I love the swimming pool pics! I love all the rolls on his belly! Those are seriously classic. Get them done in black and white and they'd look fantastic!

oh he is too cute! the one picture of him in the duck looking at the camera looks so much like Kate! I seriously think I've seen her make that face before.

He looks so grown up in his car seat! :) Can't wait to see you in ONE week in Nauvoo! woo hoo!

Gideon's like the cutest kid ever! Not that I'm biased or anything... :) Have a great weekend and safe travels to the wedding - see you there!

p.s. I was at the store last night and was looking at some clothes for Gideon. The ones I liked were all too small (at least I thought so).. they were all 6-9 months! tried to find a 12 month since that was the size of his purdue outfit... thinking of picking up a byu outfit for him while here in SLC/utah land... the alma matter of this mom, aunt jen and grandpa! Go cougars!

Thanks so much for more pics - those were so good!

p.s.s. So chilling at baggage claim in SLC airport waiting for another 90 min for adam to get it - I swear I'm seeing people I know.... way weird...
