Since I was grabbing the car seat pictures off the camera I uploaded some other pictures as well. So here are a bunch more Desmond pictures.

So Monday I turned around and found the munckin climbing chairs. Of course being a good mother I took pictures, before telling him not to do that.

Later that evening, Dan offered me a bite of his chocolate chip cookie, Desmond decided he would like some too and grabbed a piece before DH or I could react. So here is chocolate face.

Tuesday I look and see Desmond stuck between the wall and the entertainment center, he is just small enough to fit in there, but apparently he can’t always get out. So I take some pictures and the rescue the poor baby. Yes I’m a mean mother.

Last night Desmond won’t go to sleep, so Dan took him downstairs where he promptly fell asleep sitting up. I don’t quite understand how he can sleep like this, but he seems to like it.

So we upgraded Desmond’s car seat this evening. This week the brand that we wanted to upgrade him to held their twice annual sale. Since he likely won’t last in his infant seat till September we decided to go ahead and upgrade him now. I ordered the seat on Tuesday around 10pm and it arrived this afternoon. Basically we got overnight shipping for free, yay!

Anyways here are some pictures of Desmond playing and trying out his new car seat.

First off the car seat in its box.

Desmond thought it made a nice climb toy.

Tasty straps apparently

Here is Desmond strapped in, we were checking to see if we needed to move it up to the second level for the straps, we didn’t he fits quite well in the lowest setting.

Here it is installed in the car.

I’ll try to get up a picture or two of him in the carseat in the car once we’ve put him in it.

The rest of the pictures are sort of a random collection. There is one of his face, which is just silly looking, a couple of him climbing up my scrapbooking boxes (which have since been moved), one of him sleeping, and one of him very very upset (I am mean I took a picture before comforting him).

He is a little monkey and will climb anything that he can find that will hold him. It has led to finding him in some interesting positions so far, and I am sure it will only get worse!

He will just collapse on occasion when he has worn himself down and feels like a nap, since he is happy there we normally just let him sleep where he has fallen.

See very unhappy baby. To be fair he has just hit the temper tantrum stage, so anything can upset him quickly. Fortunately it is fairly easy to make him all smiles again as well.

We also have a chair (well two) that we bought from Target, that is fairly low to the ground that Dan or I will sit on when playing the Xbox360 or Wii. Desmond likes to climb on it too now, and sit in it.

One of Desmond’s favorite places is Dan’s chair, he loves to try to climb up and play with his computer. Sometimes he is more successful then others. Here are a bunch of pictures of him in the chair or on top of the chair…

So we went to the Aquarium yesterday, it was extremely crowded so we didn’t stay long, but Desmond did enjoy the fishies. He also really enjoyed hanging out backwards in the Mei Tai. Here are some pictures of him, in his favorite position (upside down). I’d worry about it, but he flipped up whenever he felt like it, so it just seems to be a position he likes to be in.

So I’ve uploaded some pictures we’ve taken in the past week or so, and figured I should share. First off is pictures of baby boy walking! He tends to walk with his hands above his head for some reason. I assume it is balance, but who knows. He can take about 10 to 12 steps at a time now, and has started working on his running as well, eek.

…is Boob (well it sounds more like Baab).

He enjoys popping off while nursing and saying it, as in look Mommy you have a Boob! and I get milk from it!

I think we can officially call Desmond a walker. He always starts out walking now, and goes up to 8 or 9 steps before falling. He only starts out crawling if he is somewhere without something for him to use to stand. He is really enjoying his new skill though. He was walking all over last night.

Desmond walking on video. We finally got the video camera set up at the right time to catch him walking. He only does 2 to 5 steps at a time, but he is pretty good at it. Here is one of his attempts last night, K is there to “help” too. It is fairly long and not edited, I couldn’t get the edited version to work, so you get the full video in all its glory.

This one is a bit pixelated for the first 3 or 4 seconds too, no clue, guess I needed black space at the front.
