Barely Keeping Up

I know you parents will understand about feeling like you can't keep up sometimes with your little one(s), especially in the crawling, trying-to-walk, exploratory stage. Well, that's where Tennyson is for sure. He's always been......busy. Very, very busy. But he has really picked up speed in the last two weeks. I guess I should stop fretting that my house is never as cleaned and organized as I would like it to be. And with Destructo Baby on the loose, it's going to be a loooooong time until it is.

Those these photos were not all taken on the same day, but let me assure you that they could have been. We're pretty much just missing Tennyson "helping" empty the dishwasher and chewing on everything from the playmat to the tube of diaper rash cream.

Playing Peek-a-Boo with Daddy behind the bathroom door

He's learned how to open cabinets.....and pull out all of Mommy's containers.

He loves to pull back the shades and watch the birds in the yard

Like father, like son.
Tennyson doing a little light reading on the Civil War.

It took him all morning to get that Flock of Seagulls hairstyle right.

Tennyson loves to mess with shoelaces. He will literally crawl after you if you have tennis shoes on in the house.
Playing with the doorstopper. Well, it does make that cool sound!
We're tired, too, after all that!
