What a blur

We have been nonstop for what feels like a month.  Everything is unpacked, washed & put away from vacation.  The house is back to normal but in DESPERATE need of baby proofing.  It's our goal for this coming weekend.  Calan is into everything.  There is a continuous pile of dirt next to the plant in the living room that he can't seem to keep his hands out of.  Outlets & cords are his toy of choice and my curtain-cupboard-doors just aren't currently making sense.  Yard sale toys are plentiful but just as overwhelming as imaginable when there doesn't seem to be enough places to keep them.  He is growing out of clothes left & right but I can't seem to part with them just incase the next baby is a boy too.  We have upgraded to a larger bottle within the past day or two because five ounces aren't quite enough anymore.  On the day he turned 8 months he went from reaching and rolling to instant crawling.  Just this morning he was quietly "playing" but when I peeked around the corner he was unscrewing the knob that secures his baby gate at the top of the stairs.  I think that he has unplugged something in every room - lamps, his swing, night lights, fish tank....  He can pull himself up on everything from curtains to tables to the ottoman at the end of our bed.  There is still no sleeping through the night & this past Saturday he was up 4 times.  The johnny-jump-up continues to be a swing that he refuses to jump in.  Our basement looks like a kids consignment shop and he isn't even a year old. So all & all life is good.
