You won't believe what the last few days have been like. Aidan is super prone to injuries right now. He wants to pull up on EVERYTHING...regardless of how sturdy it is. Just this morning he was trying to stand up with the help of a small empty box. He, of course, could not pull it off.
The last two mornings we have woken to a crash and scream. The first morning it was his face that hit the side of the crib. This morning, the back of his head. I never realized the need for a video monitor until now.
How do mothers (and their precious babies) survive this stage of exploration and daredevil-like behavior? Aidan seems to have no fears and will try anything. If he falls, he generally just gets back and up and starts over again...that is, unless he hits too hard...then he just needs a hug from Mommy and he's fine.
I am trying to stay relaxed, to pray over him, and to just be calm when he does hurt himself. It's gonna happen, so I can't freak out over him and not let him learn some things the hard way at times.
I just had to add this picture taken about one month ago.
How can you resist this little face?
