About a week ago Jaxon learned to stand up in his crib. Now, he is up and down and walking from one side to the other. His crib turned into a jungle gym over night. Once upon a time, I could lay him down give him his binky and blankie and he was fast asleep. These days, as soon as, his body hits the mattress he is jumping up. It is literally like springs have developed in his legs!
However, it can be the sweetest, most precious thing in the whole world. Especially, when he wakes up in the morning and I go to find him standing in his dark room with the widest grin. That makes getting out of bed at 2AM, 3AM, or 5AM completely worth it.
Ever since he learned to stand up, he seems to changing constantly. Or at least learning things at a much faster pace and becoming seemingly more daring. Everything in his world provides the opportunity to stand up. He has been caught dangerously using a FisherPrice LittlePeople barn, a stereo, a rocking chair, an empty tote and a book- just to name a few. I find myself not being able to turn my attention away for even a moment. If things are this crazy now, I can't imagine what life will be like once he actually starts walking. It is amazing how just a week ago ordinary home objects had no meaning or purpose and were left safely alone; now he is pulling up on the couch, the fireplace, & the dresser...He quickly transitioned from being King of the Crib to King of the Castle!
