My Big Boy





Apparently, I should have had Nicky wear shoes a little more often as a child! I am a fan of naked shoeless baby so the only shoes he has really worn are the soft little Robeez and I have sent my child into the world unprepared! He got a pair of those cute little old-fashioned baby shoes from Grammy and I dressed him up adorably in his little overalls with matching socks and his new shoes and set him down, and he promptly fell over...and rolled...and whacked into the closet door. It seems he was stumped by his new shoes. After pulling on his shoes for a few minutes and then wailing for a few minutes he decided that he would go for it, and he promptly fell over. Like a dog in a sweater he was completely unable to walk and very annoyed at the whole process. Being a very bad mommy, I was kind of excited - I had my baby back!! He stayed where I put him and held his arms up waiting for me to pick him up and love on him. I know, progress is good and I want him to be functional and all, but it was nice to to be "mommy" again. He has just been unbelievably cute for the last few days.
