10 1/2 months: INTO EVERYTHING

Update: My hair is okay. Perhaps Bailey has already perfected the art of the razor cut, as I can't see any visible repercussions of last night's drama. In fact, I've had 3 people compliment my hair today.



So, Nolan is a little pill right now. While he's still a sweet baby, he is definitely showing us his precarious personality right now. He's so darn curious and is bound to get hurt one of these days during an escapade. If he's not crawling into a drawer, he's on top of the dishwasher door. If he's not pulling down my back door window treatment, he's knocking over a floor lamp. He is psycho about my computer and is in a "must punch as many buttons as possible" trance any time it's in use. Oh, and he's INCREDIBLY attracted to the plugs, something Bailey never even cared about for one second. And he complains when I don't do what he wants. But who the heck knows what he wants? He's a baby.



I realize he's discovering the world around him and learning about his place in it. And, of course, he's so stinkin cute that I just have to laugh at him.....right before I save him from busting his head open on the tile after crawling on top of a chair and then trying to jump off of it.



Here are just a couple of pictures from this week and a video where I finally captured him walking a few steps.




How do I use his love of the swiffer to my advantage? Perhaps I shall groom him to be the go-to flooring expert around the Cox household.
