I went to visit my wee nephew a week or so ago, he's 9 months old, and capable of getting around not too badly - he doesn't walk but he crawls. He can pull himself up to a standing position, and when I was there, he leaned against the coffee table, and proceeded to pull items off the shelf one at a time and smash them against the table top. My mom said there's a difference between boys and girls from the start, and clearly this dude is "busy", as she'd term it. His tenacity at getting his hands on any item in reach, is adorable and frightening.

In other baby news, I just got some photos and news about my cousin's daughter... she is not home from the hospital yet as she is not over 5 lbs, I don't know the whole story but to see her with a little oxygen and feeding tube setup was kind of... I dunno, my cousin is a super nice guy and to think that they can't take their wee daughter home yet and cuddle her at home, is kind of bleh. I'm making yet another baby afghan, I think this is the 5th, and I have it down to a science how many balls of yarn of which size make up how many rows of crocheting. But it was fun to pick out the cute pink yarn! Other babies had unknown gender when I bought the yarn, or were boys. I got some yarn for a wee cardigan as well, it will be wee for sure because a baby who is 5-6 lbs will still fit newborn clothing. I'm terrified that any sweater I start for my nephew will be outgrown by the time I finish LOL but with this little girl I think I have some time, of course I hope she outgrows it quickly :)
