Our Growing Boy

Teo is closing in on his 6-month milestone, coming up this Saturday. As stated before, and as known by all of you who are parents (with some many times over), it is a revelation to watch him learn and explore the world around, his own voice, his own body and motion - all too fun. Sometimes painful.
Our boy is perhaps a wee bit too precocious for his own good - and well-being. He is in the early stages of crawling and can almost sit up for extended times on his own, but his strength and his DETERMINATION to stand and GO are going to be reminders that he is maybe moving a touch too fast too soon. He is determined to stand every chance he gets, pulling himself up in his crib, next to the coffee table, Candice's leg, Tigger's cage, you name it; he either wants to stand next to it or climb over and on top or inside. That's fine, but the problem is getting down. He doesn't understand gravity and falling, but he's slowly learning what pain is, as he bumps his head here and there falling sideways into things or to the floor. Candice or I are constantly hovering over and around him as we let him explore, but we have to be ready to catch him at any moment, as he is still quite wobbly and not used to kneeling or sitting up, let alone standing.
Needless to say, the boy is already quite mobile and is ever so close to full out crawling. We'll probably have to cage him at that point. Or put him on a tight leash. (We are animals after all!)
As you can see by the pics, he is growing and filling out, and gets cuter by the day.
We have lots of pics and videos, but can only show a few at a time. I will try to post more - and more often - so you can bask in his cuteness, and I'll try and cut down on the verbiage and let you simply enjoy His Teo-ness.
