Growing Too Fast!

Rhett was born moving and hasn't slowed down one bit since we brought him home from the hospital. He has never taken good naps - he would not want to miss out and during meal times will not keep still. He reminds me of someone that I know - my daughter Addison was exactly like that. I was hoping that my second child would come into our family and be relaxed and laid back like his Dad, but nope - Rhett and his sister couldn't me more alike. Like Addison, Rhett is determined to walk at an early age. The beginning of April he began crawling and once he caught on to that it was hard to keep up with him. Now that he has mastered crawling about two weeks ago he began pulling himself up on couches, chairs, leg hairs, whatever he could get ahold of. Now he has begun walking up and down the couches and quickly as he can and he is quite proud of himself. I am fully aware that children should not walk this early but what am I going to do? Jeremy and I have instigated NONE of this - he is completely on his own and is determined. A few nights ago Jeremy yelled at me to come into the family room and once I arrived I saw Rhett in the middle of the room standing on his own. It only lasted for a few seconds but WHAT??? He definately keeps us busy and the "baby" stage has gone way too fast - he well on his way to being a toddler all too soon. However, I wouldn't want him any other way - it's just Rhett!! And I can't complain because he is an extremely happy baby who will laugh at something funny even when he's crying. Life ahead of us with him will be one exciting ride. Can't wait!!
