A week ago I had a baby who was relatively stationary; with
his only source of transportation being a painfully slow rolling maneuver. This
had its benefits, since it made it possible for me to leave him unattended for
small periods of time; allowing me to do things like change a load of laundry,
microwave a Lean Cuisine or whip up a batch of meth in my bath tub.
On the same note, I was incredibly eager for him to start
crawling. You see, I was kind of over having to carry him all over the place;
carting a baby around on your hip is similar to toting around a 25 pound sack
of potatoes, a sack of potatoes that wiggles and pulls your hair. I thought if
he would just learn to crawl he could then follow me from room to room; comparable
to having a lost puppy, without that mess involving him chewing on my shoes.
I grossly miscalculated. See: the power of free will.
He’s not so much interested in being my shadow as he is exploring
every square inch of our apartment and making it obvious that I need to do a
substantially better job at vacuuming. Rinn tries on a daily basis to eat my slippers while they're still on my feet, why wouldn't he be interested in putting in his mouth the Pizzeria Combo that's been taking refuge under our couch since we moved in over two months ago?
