Watch him....Watch him....What are you doing?

These are the most used words in my house right now. Jameson is crawling all over the place and has the cutest crawl I believe I have ever seen. He looks like a hopped up bug when he crawls. Anyway, it seems that I am always saying, "Jameson.....what are you doing", or "Jameson, come back". And when Rusty is at home I feel like I am always saying "watch him, watch him". So not only is Jameson crawling, and might I add, very quickly now, he is also pulling up on anything that he can find. When he first started doing this, he had no idea how to sit back down on his bottom and would just let go and fall flat on his back and head. Now, however, he has learned how to sit back down on his bottom very slowly. It is so funny to watch. When he first started learning how to sit back down, I would clap for him and he loved it. Now every time he sits back down on his own, he looks at me and smiles. He is waiting on me to clap for him. When I say he pulls up on things, I mean things like the couch, chairs, laundry baskets that flip over, window seals with very sharp edges, dogs, cats......etc. You get the picture. So I am a nervous wreck all day long. When he wasn't mobile, I could sit him safely on the rug and he would sit and play while I washed dishes or cooked supper. Now he follows me everywhere and puts everything in his mouth. So I have to watch him like a hawk all day long. Not that I mind because I think he is so cute. I digress.....
Back to the crawling thing, I have to share this very gross story with you because I am sure that it has happened to all of you at one time or another. Our cute little dog Lilly likes to tease Jameson. He discovered her food bowl several weeks ago and she likes lure him into the kitchen where she eats. She will run and get a piece of food and bring it to the rug where he is playing. He of course notices and decides to follow her the next trip. So after several times of pulling him away from the food bowl and taking dog food out of his hand I moved the dog food into the laundry room thinking he wouldn't find it there. Something else that is so funny is he knows he is not supposed to get the dog food so he will casually ease his way toward the bowl and once it is in sight, he makes a run for it. Our kitchen is tile so you can hear those little hand and feet tapping the floor so fast. Going on with my very long story.....the dog food is tucked away safely in the laundry room and Jameson has no idea where it is. He keeps crawling over to the old spot and looking around trying to find it. Well, little miss Lilly decides to lure him into the laundry room now. She goes to get the dog food and brings it into plain sight for Jameson. So he follows her into the room. So I am in the kitchen and notice that Jameson is crawling into the laundry room. When I go to pick him up, he is sitting on Lilly's tee tee pad playing in her tee tee. Yes, I said it was gross. So I immediately pick him up and give him a little sponge bath. Well, Easter morning, I was cooking breakfast and Rusty had gone into the other room for a minute. I thought he had Jameson, but he didn't. So I hear Jameson in the laundry room. I immediately run in there and find that he is playing not in Lilly's tee tee, but her poop. He had some in his hand and was looking at it. Luckily I made it in time before he put it in his mouth. We keep her pads clean and changed and there was no poop that morning. I think she pooped on purpose and lured Jameson in there just to see what he would do. When I got in the laundry room do you know who was sitting right beside him looking at him........Lilly! She does it on purpose. So now, we have to keep the door closed to avoid messes like the one I just described. It was funny, but I freaked out a little. All of that being said, he is just growing and changing every day. He is so smart and I could type all day long stories about him. I will leave you with a cute picture of him standing up.
