Here's Somethin'

Not to worry, Clark Fans, Mr. Clark Otis is doing great! In fact...he's doing really great. Like, get up every morning at 6am-crawl at a rapid pace-pull himself up onto his feet-scale staircases-run Mommy and Daddy ragged-great!

Yes, he is full on crawling! None of this army scoot, stuff. He crawls with conviction!

Yes, he has learned to pull himself up onto his feet! Anything firm enough to hold his weight (or the occasional flimsy object), he will grab ahold and wriggle himself up to a full on stand! This is not without it's peril, of course, as he as fallen backwards, sideways, head over heels onto his noggin' several times. (Sigh).

Yes, he climbs stairs. Only upwards. There will be video evidence!

Needless to say, he demands a LOT more of our attention. As you can imagine that is why updating the Chronicles has been few and far between. Like REALLY few and far between this time. Weeeee!

Christy and I have a new system now. She's got him Mondays and Wednesdays. I get him Tues and Thurs. Giving each other stress-free time to tend to work projects. Fridays will be family time. Weekends, up in the air. But the two free days are already a big weight lifted!

S'all for now. More to come. Like, Christmas, a NICU reunion, and more!

Wouldn't want to leave you with nothing so here he is!

  1. Glad to hear he's become more challenging.. and more rewarding. How is he with picking up and manipulating objects?? Anytime now, you'll be teaching him to play catch.
