Dashel is half a year old! About two weeks ago he totally gained mobility and there has been no looking back. He low crawls like a champ, and wants to explore and eat everything. His favorites include wires, remotes, newspaper and toy cars. He cares nothing for baby approved toys. I had to rearrange the entire living room to hide the wires and we took all the little toys upstairs. He still finds trouble and is a baby on a mission. My whole day is spent facilitating his play and trying to keep him somewhat contained. I nearly had a heart attack yesterday when I went upstairs for a second and came back down to find him standing up holding on to the couch. I ran down as fast as I could while having visions of him letting go and cracking his head open. I have a feeling that isn't the last scare this little guy will give me. I'm not sure how he pulled himself up, but there's only more of that to come.
His bottom two teeth have pushed through and the top ones are dangerously close to making an appearance. He's a happy guy but not in a smiley way. He's just focused on what he wants to do and as long as he's moving or being held, or both, he's content. He does love to be tickled, especially by Oliver. He enjoys beating up on Oliver and wrestling with. They are fast becoming best buds.
