It's really crazy to think of how quickly Jack is growing and learning new things. He's no longer dependent on us to help him sit up and get from place to place. Now he can conquer restaurant high chairs and be an active (excuse me, VERY active) participant during mealtime. We instantly sit down at our table and scan and remove all items which he could harm or vice versa. Usually he's able to locate a hidden gem that we missed. His hands are so quick!
The changing table has become another battleground where he's already learning to test Mommy's patience. He no longer wants to sweetly lay still and gaze into his Mom's eyes while she cleans his bottom. Now it's all about how quickly he can turn over and grab for the wooden rails and start chewing once the diaper comes off. So, I'm having to compensate by putting the diapers on backwards...which is no easy feat. (By the way, this picture makes him appear gigantic. Somedays I forget that he's all that big.)

And now he's finally crawling! It's still kind of a "bear" crawl but it definately gets him around...and gives him even more freedom to be into everything. I came home from work today to find a messy living room. His Pops was so proud because Jack was actually able to make the mess by himself. I guess that is a good thing. And while I'm sure the noisy participation at restaurants, the crazy changing table manuevers and the constant messes in the living room may get old, for now they are a sweet testament to the milestones of a growing boy.
