My Knees Hurt

As Quinn ages, he is (obviously) able to do more. In the first few months, one can do little with the child...and 'playing' with the child is a bit more like 'entertaining' the child.

Now that Quinn can crawl (really fast), stand up, grab things, and has more control over his hand movements, we can actually play. Which means a lot of time on my hands and knees - not exactly easy on hardwood floors and tile.

His favorite games are 1) knocking down the blocks, 2) 'ramming' heads (we line up on opposite sides of the room and charge each other like two rams), and 3) going into drawers or places he shouldn't and letting me pick him up and take him to a 'safe' place.

Needless to say, it is much more fun as a father to be able to be a bit more active with the little guy. I'm going to go running now to give my knees a break ...

By the way, I think he had another 'first' today: he stood on his own for a few seconds (then scared himself with the feat and fell on the ground).
