Pulling Up

Before Christmas Jax started pulling himself up. As you can imagine, it is in full force less than a month later. We lowered his crib, but it didn't take long before he started pulling himself up in there again. Each morning, Ryan finds Jaxon standing there waiting to begin his day. As for everywhere else, he will use anything or anyone to help him get up. If Jax is in bed with Ryan, he enjoys using Daddy as a jungle gym to stand up. If it is the living room, it is the couch, toys, pillows...you name it and he can use it to stand up! (Don't mind the stack of clothes in the background of this picture. Mommy and Bebe had a busy day of shopping. Jax came out with a ton of clothes!)

Here is a typical Jax face. So serious at times!

This is the toy that will cause me the most concern. It is the busy ball toy that Aunt Jessica got Jax for Christmas. He pulls himself up on this a lot. My concern is that I have seen him start to climb on it twice! I don't mind the standing, but when he gets that leg pulled up looking for a place to put it to climb over, I get so nervous. Last night, he threw a ball over it and started climbing over to go get it. This kid has no fear!

My random story to share took place Tuesday night. I was getting Jaxon's bag ready so we could go see Daddy's basketball game while Jax played in the living room. I come back in to find Jaxon standing as far away from the love seat as he could while still holding on. The strange part...his shirt was half off. I don't know what took place and I'm not sure I want to know. I'm not ready for a shirtless baby that stands on his own!
