Today Mr. Brendan was hanging out with Daddy, playing with some hangers in a basket of laundry I need to work on. He started out sitting on the couch, and the basket was on the floor. Who knows what sparked his interest in these clothes hangers? He noticed them and started lunging his whole body toward them, so Daddy sat him on the floor where he could safely get to them. I guess one must have been on the coffee table, because after a few minutes of taking all my hangers out of the basket (ohhh, and so it begins!), he started lunging toward the coffee table, which was right next to the basket in front of him, and pulling up on it! He just about pulled to standing when he lost his grip and almost *ate* the coffee table. Wow. He'll be 6 months on Wednesday. He scoots, but doesn't pick up his body and *officially* crawl. I know I'm in trouble with this one!
Almost immediately, we set out to lower the crib mattress and remove the bumper, and also remove the mobile and mount it to the wall. He only naps in the crib right now, but all it takes is an unsupervised second for some sort of catastrophe to happen. I guess he definitely won't be taking any more naps in his co-sleeper unsupervised! I'm sure he's probably getting to the weight limit for it, anyway. My plan is to use it until it's unusable for him.
Jeez, time really doesn't mess around, like my brilliant SIL posted a bit ago!
