Owie!

Learning to crawl has broadened Wesley's whole world! Gone are the days where he will just sit and play. I'll put him on the floor with a few toys and that will last all of a minute. Then he'll scoot to the coffee table and try to pull himself up a few times, try to crawl under the coffee table, make his way over to the TV stand and start pulling on the doors. Unfortunately, he is very headstrong and uses his head as a battering ram. Needless to say, Wesley has to learn to work on his coordination and balance. This has lead to a few bumps and bruises on his forehead.

Now, we are working on baby proofing the house. The electrical covers have been up for a long while and the safety gate has been in front of the stairs for a couple weeks. We were letting him go in the cabinet under the TV, but he kept opening the doors into his face and head! He was also coming precariously close to closing the doors on his fingers, so we opted to keep the doors locked. Greg and I are always supervising him, but he has still gotten his share of bumps and bruises just from pulling himself up and then unexpectedly lunging forward. Hopefully he'll get a little more coordinated real soon!

Watch out Murphy! Here I come!
