The babies have started crawling. Although it's absolutely fabulous that they are mobile it also is turning into a pain in the ass. Abe goes all over the place...and I'm talking about ALL OVER THE PLACE! He's in the bathroom, in Liam's room, ripping the cat's hair out, pushing buttons on the computer, picking up crap on the kitchen floor...it's exhausting and Adam and I need to get our butts in gear and block off a room where there are no little toy pieces, no food that can pose as a choking hazard, no computer that can be pulled off onto his head etc. Baby gates are going to be our new best friend and Abe's worst enemy. My friend with twins said she wishes she could tell me it gets easier but in reality, they only get smarter. Crap. I'm fried because DAMN I'm 35 y/o and out of shape!
Eli on the other hand crawls, but he's slower and he's more interested in crawling after your legs so he can get picked up. He has no interest in going too far away and panics if he can't see you. And also, when he gets frustrated he'll either spin in circles or he'll lay in one spot pound his legs and scream. That's how Eli gets around. He screams until someone picks him up and moves him...oh he's smart. I can only take the screaming for so long and he can scream FOREVER!
Oh, did I mention that they're also pulling up on things? Liam was walking by 10 months...I wonder when these little buggers will hit the bricks running?
Liam is my big helper. He fetches diapers, wipes, sings to the babies, dances for the babies, tickles them, carries them etc. He LOVES the babies...I called them "Little rotten babies" and he said "Mom. They're our babies and they are nice babies." Lesson learned. Never dis the babies in front of big brother. LOL
I have signed Liam up for soccer too. That kid runs fast. He hunkers right down and puts his little muscly legs right to work. I hope when he gets into Middle School, High School, and College that he keeps up with running. It's a great way to stay in shape and I wish I would have kept up with it myself. It's so freeing and you don't have to think about anything...A couple of my friends recently ran the half marathon (woot! woot! Sara and Emily! I'm still proud of you) and Liam said to me on the way home that he wants to run a marathon too. "Mom, would you be there to cheer at me?" Me: "Of course Liam!" Liam: "I would stop to hug you mom and tell you thank you. Would you be proud of me?" At that point I teared up. Me: "Baby, I'll always be your biggest fan..."
