Thanksgiving highlights: Mobility

It's official. We now have a fully mobile, crawling, climbing, cruising kid on our hands. It took Caleb almost nine months to learn how to scoot around on his belly, but only a few days of attentive grandparenting to turn him into a budding toddler.

Pulling himself up to a standing position is no problem. He makes walking from one side of the couch to the other using his hands for support look easy. To watch him go, you'd think he'd been climbing the stairs for months. And apparently, he caught his sister off guard and pinned her to the ground when I wasn't looking. I'm proud of the boy, honestly. But I'm sure it's going to put a dent in my ease of parenting when we return home.

(Is "ease of parenting" an oxymoron?)
