Curiosity Breeds Determination and Makes a Mama Cry

 

baby learning to crawl

It took one sunny day and one pine cone to give Barney Kneeknuckles the drive to “grow up.”

And, yes …. he crawls now.

And had pulled up to standing . . . twice.

And can get into a sitting position by himself.

He says “bite” and “Mama.”

He gives kisses — on demand and voluntary.

Sniff … and he isn’t even eight months old yet.

Big. Sniff.
