We've got ourselves a hyper-speed army-crawler! He started it about 3.5 weeks ago and he's just been going at full speed, nonstop for the past week. The. Kid. Is. Into. Everything.
Ev.ery.thing.
I just have to turn my head to grab my water bottle and BAM! He's in the kitchen.
Or playing with the wall-heater knob.
Or the surge protector for the TV.
Or anything else he shouldn't be.
This, my friends, is the end of an era. An era when I knew where my kid would be if I turned my back for a second. Or at least I knew the general area he'd be in. Now? It's anyone's guess.
I'm tired just thinking about it.
Plus, he likes to look back when I call his name, then giggle at me, turn back and crawl away faster. I'm telling you, if it wasn't so damn cute....
I'll try to get a quick video of him on the move. Check back later.
And now, because of all of this, I'm awaiting the arrival of his brand new baby play yard gate. I got the extra panels to make it bigger so he'd feel more like we're gating things off from him rather than gating him in to a smaller area. Did I think that one through too much?

Here's some pictures I took a little while ago and forgot to share...
This one is Ez's first time sitting in a highchair! He all-out refused it during the first part of Lydia's visit here and demanded to be held the whole time ;-) But at El Indio? He loved it...and he even made friends with a guy who thought Ez was just amazingly cute. He's mid "ooooooooooo!" here.
Here's a sleeping Ez shot. Sometimes I forget what he looks like sleeping....like at 2:30am when he's ready to party down...
We had to stop at the grocery store for a few things...when we came across this magical automobile...
The owner was hanging out right beside it and seemed genuinely happy to have his masterpiece photographed - we weren't just creepy people taking pics of other people's cars :)
And finally, here's a cute one.

Either way, we're about to have our very own Baby Thunderdome right in our living room :)
