yesterday morning i finally got to witness stetson standing up by himself...not pulling up but just standing up in the middle of the floor. his mimi marti had already seen him do it a few times. every time he does it i clap and make a big deal out of it...so last night he was standing up over and over...for just a few seconds....and then he would stand up and clap with me. but he is, so far, NOT interested in taking any steps. and he certainly doesn't want any help...he still won't really let you hold his hands and walk him. i don't so much mind that he's not walking yet...except everywhere we go he doesn't want to be in his stroller but i can't let him crawl in just any ol' public place. i mean, i have let him crawl in places i didn't think i ever would...such as target and the mall. but the main problem with that is that when there are a lot of people around, we're either in the way or i'm afraid somebody is gonna step on him. not to mention he won't crawl in the direction you want him to.
which brings me to the fact that he hasn't been to the nursery yet at our church...i just haven't wanted to take him...it just makes me anxious...BUT i decided yesterday that we're gonna try it next time we go (we'll be in vidalia this coming weekend). he's so busy and all over the place that i was chasing him all around the perimeter of the church and if i picked him up to get him out of the way of people or keep him from getting hurt, he would kick and scream. needless to say, i was feeling a little frazzled when we left yesterday. i've just never left him with people he doesn't know and just thinking about it makes me start having anxiety. but i've got to do it. i'm never going to be able to actually pay attention to what is going on if i don't. and it's just for the preaching. the kids stay in there for worship...which is good because he loves the music. he gets his groove on.
and his bottom 2 molars are FINALLY breaking through. praise the Lord. he has been miserable with them.
