Standing and Bruises

Toby is standing and discovering new things everyday. This has resulted in a lot of fun for him, but also some bumps and bruises. He's a little fearless, and will let go too soon, or try to grab something a little too far out of reach, and then there he goes....smack! Of course, baby's heads are heavy, so that's the first thing to hit the ground. He kept falling in the same spot, and got a lovely bruise on his forehead. I'm sure this is the first of many bruises to come his way.



Toby recently discovered the front door, which has a large glass window. He enjoys pulling himself up and looking out at the front yard. I often find him there just talking and laughing to himself. He also likes when daddy comes up and says hello.



A few days ago he found the washer machine. I had just put a load of laundry in and he stood up and watched it go round and round.



Another favorite spot is the fireplace. We don't use the fireplace, but hope to someday add a gas insert.



I didn't get a picture, but this morning he was standing up at the toilet playing with the handle. Oh joy. :-)
