Pulling Up!

 When it comes to moving it's no secret that Zeke Man is our latest mover. He crawled at 9 months and don't remind me how long it took him to roll over from his back to tummy. You might think that now that he's gotten a taste of freedom and movement that he might just hurry it along and learn new skills at record speed...nope, that's not his style! 


So in an effort to entice him to want to pull himself I let him hang out with the big kids while they took a bath on Tuesday night. I stood him up and he held on. 
 

There is something so cute about seeing a little bitty body standing up! 
 

After a while he decided he needed to sit down. 
 

He tried so hard to pull himself up on his own, but the floor was too slippery. 
 

After a while he was not interested anymore! 
 

Hey Mom! 
 

Then I got this shot of Zeke's poor neck. It's so red and dry! When he saw the doctor for his 9 month check up he said it was just dry skin. He had been drooling a lot, but he's not as bad anymore. Anyways I have tried so many things and nothing seems to help - Nipple cream, Aquaphor, Cetaphil, Nystatin and Vasaline! I'm thinking of taking him back in and having the doctor look at it again. Thankfully it doesn't seem to bother him it just looks awful! 


Then he did the cutest thing a baby can do! I love it!!! 


Look at those chubby legs!!! 

For the record books on the morning of March 21st...one day shy of Zeke turning 10 months old he pulled himself up all on his own!
