Nicholas the amazing standing boy!

I am in trouble.

I mean it. Being outnumbered is one thing. Three kids, two parents - chances are somebody is always going to be getting away with something. Then get all three of the little ones mobile. Makes it quite tricky. They go in all different directions and they are really hard to catch. Fast lil' buggers too! Now you know why we rarely leave the house.

Starting on Thursday 11/13 Nicholas really began standing. All alone. Not holding furniture. Just - standing. At first it was that absent minded, "I was holding onto the couch, but I need both hands to chew on this toy" kind of event. But every day he gets more and more deliberate.

He'll be walking by Thanksgiving for sure. Yikes. He already grabs a hold of the kitchen table and all but swings by his fingertips. He's such an adventurer I'm really going to have to look at the house with a whole new "safety eye." Don't get me wrong, it's really exciting, but it is a whole new chapter in life and one that makes me worry. Because I'm a mom.
