Oh, sad day, I just put Paxton's wooden cradle away. He's never slept in it, I set it up with toys and every morning he lays in it and plays while I have my coffee, breakfast and read my emails. Lately he has started sitting up in it or holding onto the sides and pulling himself up and I don't feel safe to walk out of the room or even just not pay attention while I'm reading LJ or something. Instead I brought up some toys that [livejournal.com profile] egg_spirit gave us, and pulled all the toys out of the cradle and put them on the floor. I need to set up a play area for him here. He's becoming such a big boy. Almost 8 months old!

I've been drawn in by the jumparoo, I think I'll see if I can find one on craigslist. I wanted to get him the plain jolly jumper on a stand, but I put him in a jumperoo at [livejournal.com profile] vitainpalus's house and he had so much fun in it and started jumping right away. How can I resist.

My little baby just amazes me. I know that every mother must feel the same, but I just look at everything he does with such wonder. Not that long ago he was my precious tiny newborn, so dependent on me. Now he's all "NO MOMMA" (without speaking, he isn't THAT amazing) when I try to feed him, and he grabs the food out of my fingers and feeds himself.

I took a nap with him this morning and he woke up way quicker than I thought he should. I opened one eye and looked at him and he was on all fours grinning as soon as he saw he had woken me up. Then a quick crawl across the bed to me, nomming on my face and lunging at my boob as soon as it was visible.

Sometime I look at him and wonder what kind of a man he'll be. Will I do a good job in raising him? Will he have gentle spirit? Will he have integrity and be wise and make good decisions? Sigh. My momma heart.


No real plans for today. Fed the baby banana and cheerios and egg yolk, or rather, he fed himself. I have been craving edamame, so I'm heading to Costco where I know they sell it in big packs.
