my half-year old child



so Dekker will be a half-year old tomorrow, and he continues to amaze me each and every day! he has sprouted a wee tooth within the past few days, so is dealing with some teething pain. thank God for the creators of ORAGEL, to whom i am forever greatful.

Dekker also has this notion inside his head that its time to learn how to crawl. he certainly didn't get this notion from his mother because i am NOT the proud owner of a crawl-proof apartment (yet). but every day, this little tyke wakes up, twists onto his belly, and hoists himself up on his haunches. then he proceeds to lunge forward, his heavy head often planting itself onto the ground....then he manages to creep forward in a "crawl" like stance....oh its so cute.


Not so cute? Dekker falling asleep holding onto my bag of chicken wings...i'm so famished and want to eat them so bad....but its not worth pulling out of his grasp for fear he will wake up and be crabby for the next few hours because his nap was cut short. Oh well i'll finish off the Lactose Free ice cream in my freezer and hope the wings aren't soggy when i eat them in a while!

So cute! I love Dekker's smile in the first picture. He'll be really crawling in no time! Crawling babies are exhausting though.
