Mommy's Little Helper

Since we've been back in Austin, Jasper's mobility has really skyrocketed. He was commando crawling all over Grandma and Papa's house, but now he's pulling himself up onto almost every piece of furniture, cabinetry and appliance. He was fascinated by the laundry room today, perhaps because the washer and dryer were running a lot to clean up the loads of backpacking clothing from daddy or the poopy clothing we've been burning through since Jasper's been on the antibiotic. He loved the washer - just the perfect height for him.


Yesterday, while playing in the kitchen with me, Jasper crawled - for real! It was only from the sink to the refrigerator, but I praised him wildly and told him the whole while that he was "really crawling." Of course, he hasn't done it since. But now I know he knows HOW! Today it sank in how much life has changed as a result of his increased mobility. I was following him everywhere or chasing after him to make sure he wasn't getting into anything he couldn't. We have to do some more baby-proofing around here. :)
