Pulling Up = Trouble

These kids are so much fun, but they are also creating so much trouble! All three, including Maddie, are impossible to change. They roll over, pull up to sitting position, and crawl away. Sometimes I just don't have the patience required by diaper changes.

James is every bit as curious as Jackson. I constantly see James doing the same things that used to frustrate me when Jack did them. Number one on my list is pulling the trashcan down and emptying the bag. This is a daily thing.

Also like baby Jack, James is determined to crawl up the slippery bathtub.

It's time to lower all three cribs since they are each pulling up.

Amelia isn't very innocent herself. Thanks to her oldest brother's careless nature of leaving food unwrapped, I've caught her twice now pulling up on shelves to nibble on a pop-tart.

Amelia and James make quite the team when it comes to creating messes. They knock over and pull out play food, burp cloths, toy cars, pantry items, etc.

These three certainly keep things interesting!

On the Move

That balloon provided hours of entertainment this week before it popped.

Though the video doesn't show it, James is a master crawler on his hands and knees. Amelia is very efficient doing the worm with her belly flops. The two are so funny doing laps around the hallway and competing to get to a certain object first.

Hallway races

Amelia loves crawling under tables and chairs.

James prefers to plow over toys and people.

James is starting to show interest in pulling up now.

Meanwhile, Maddie can scoot backwards on her stomach or rotate and slide around while sitting. I do worry about her missing out on the already inseparable bond James and Amelia have. Hopefully she'll join in the fun soon.
