Growing Up

So, lately I've had to come to terms with the fact that my little baby is growing up. Too fast. Not only is his face changing (losing some baby fat and taking on a more toddler-ish appearance) but he is suddenly very mobile and gets into everything. I guess it was inevitable. . . He loves to pull himself along the couches, army crawl everywhere, and pull himself up on anything and everything--including me.

But last night it really hit me just how big he is getting. We were watching a movie downstairs and Hyrum was playing and crawling around. He disappeared from sight, so Dan went to check on him. This is what he found:

Hyrum has discovered how to climb stairs. And he loves it! This morning we played on the stairs for a while and he seemed absolutely thrilled by his new-found ability. Now we just have to teach him how to climb down. . . He's getting big so fast! (Whether I'm ready for it or not).
