Been Busy with a Demanding Art

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Art has upped the ante the last few days and I'm adjusting to his new demands. First of all, he is no longer content just to sit and look at things. He wants to explore things with his hands and put them in his mouth so I need him to be in a safe place with things to explore. When he's in his high chair he's pretty happy playing with measuring cups or rattles and toys, but he keeps dropping them on the floor so I have keep putting them back on the tray. The bouncy seat used to be a great place to plop him for a spell but just last night he figured out how to sit up completely in it and how to lean over and get things on either side of it, which is really unsafe because he almost tipped out and fell on his head. And if I try to prop him up next to me on the floor or couch he keeps straightening his legs to stand up! He's doing it right now! And falling over while he does it. And he's getting too heavy to just wear all the time so, until he can sit by himself on the floor, it will just be harder for me to get things done. I took a couple pictures yesterday and i'll try topost before igo to bed.
