SO BIG
I know, like 90% of my postings on tobin's site have been about what a monster he is, size-wise. But he really is!
He's sitting up completely by himself now - doesn't topple at all. Sits in high chairs at restaurants without any help. Absolutely chows on any real food we give him access to - and some we don't intend him to get access to. He's so fast that if we leave a plate, or paper or anything available for a split second, he's pulling it into his world to do with as he sees fit (which is usually to go to his mouth). He's crawling like mad, and fast too, not just aimlessly moving his body around the floor, I'm talking, "target sighted, locked on, charge!" crawling. The other night he saw kristen's laptop laying open, by its lonesome on the floor after she got up to grab something. He was 6 feet away. I looked up and he was on top of it, having his way with the heyboard - i blinked and he was there.
The kid's on a mission. He's 6 months (plus a week or 2 now) and wearing 12 month old clothes, both new and Blane's hand me downs. The timing/size works out for us - because Blane's 12 month clothing was winter stuff. If Tobin were growing like a normal child, he'd be way too small for Blane's winter clothing. Thanks for saving me a few bucks son!
And he's a talker! No, not real words yet, but when he sees something he likes, he just starts babbling as loud as he can. And The Boy is loud, let me tell you. He's very good at communicating what he wants, or doesn't want with a few well-articulated babbles.
And that smile. It really lights up a room. Everyone gets one - even now that he's getting older and recognizing strangers to family. And you know who gets teh biggest smile? Big Brother Blane, that's who. Tobin is just impressed beyond comparison with his big brother. Blane's a character, and gets a constant stage in Tobin's presence. So both are happy with the situation (yes, that'll change as they both get older, but for now it's a nice give and take).
I really can't believe how fast it's happening. Both my boys are huge! And they're so impressive. Makes me smile, even on the days where a smile seems to be the last thing I've got in mind.
