Sooo Ethan’s approaching his 9 month bday and what is at the forefront of his behaviour? Inability to STOP standing! As I’m writing this, I’ve put him down for a nap (my selfish no fail way of breastfeeding him to sleep) pretty much sound asleep. Once he realizes he’s in his crib, he rolls over onto his belly and scooches himself up with leverage from the crib bars! Its so frustrating! Not only is it adorable as hell, but when he’s standing up, he’s smiling at me with a sense of accomplishment…so much that he can hardly go back to sleep (I make numerous failed attempts to feed him again)
As it turns out, I’m not alone…tons of moms go thru this:
