Baby Brother is an ambitious four-month-old. He can roll over; he can sit unassisted (up to 30 seconds before tipping over); and although he fails 100% of the time, he keeps doggedly trying to—of all things—stand up and walk. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Or rather, the flesh has no clue what to do, but he’s strong enough to push his fat little self up and then sort of lunge towards his sister, his goal.
Such a special baby I’ve got. I love his fat little cheeks and his tubby little legs; his damp, smiley little face and his bright blue eyes. I just can’t get over how lucky I am. I get to look at this sweet little face all day! (It would be nice if I didn’t have to look at it quite as much at night, what with his frequent need for pacifier replacement, but that’s a small price to pay.) Feeling fortunate.

That is awesome! He’ll be an early walker. He is quite the adorable chubby baby.

He’s adorable! And trying to walk already? He’ll be off and running in no time… Glad to see your little family doing so well.

Wow! He is a bold one. And a cute one. I’m glad you’re enjoying him!

Both of your kids are so adorable! I can’t believe how much he’s grown.

Oh my goodness, he could not be cuter! As for the trying to walk, wow. Also, yikes! How do they feel about babyproofing in Sweden? :)

At my mothers’ group they just had a presentation about child safety, in fact. They have all the same kinds of things available here, I think. Well, probably less selection and more expensive (it’s Sweden, after all). IKEA sells a lot. We never had to babyproof with Kid #1 because she never gave us a minute of trouble and listened when we told her not to touch stuff/go places. I guess we will see what happens with this one…

Speaking of babyproofing, I’ve read some stuff from Dr.Sears about creating a “yes environment”, which can include a whole lot of babyproofing so that exploration can be completely encouraged without a whole lot of “no’s.” I loved that idea.

I guess we kind of had that with LG. The spaces she was in she could do pretty much whatever.
