Pointing

Today Ollie and I hung out playing in his room. Now that he is crawling around he is starting to get into all kind of mischief.

But crawling is already proving too boring to him, he wants to pull himself up on things.

I can't tell if it is the pulling himself up he likes, or the getting a closer look. Maybe he starts with the idea of pulling himself up and gets distracted by the view?

And then comes my favorite part, something will catch his eye and he pulls out his little pointer finger and has to touch it. It cracks me up to see him do it, he's so serious when he is concentrated on getting that tiny little finger right on whatever it is he is looking at.

He can't ever resist a tag, he finds them every time, it is his favorite part of every blanket and toy.

He got himself back on task pulling himself up...

That was until he got distracted by his urge to point at the push sign on his crib again...

But he overcame it, determined to finish what he started...

He managed to get one foot on the ground...

When the second one was too hard to move he turned to me begging for help...

I confess I gave him a boost and then let go.

But he stood there all on his own

Until his eye got hold of the push sign again and he let go with his one hand thinking he could point at it one more time...

Instead he fell back on his hinny. 

And crawled away...





Only to pout because crawling is hard work and some how a room full of toys isn't all that exciting

But his pouting quickly stopped when he spotted something new, a little line on the rug to point at!
