While we were in the hospital I signed up for surveys to come every month about your development. It's super easy to do. I just fill out a bunch of yes and no questions about what you can do and can't do then I send it off. Well to be honest, the past couple months I have been cursing myself for signing up. I don't send out my mail and it's a pain to get stamps and go to the post officer. Really I was probably just being lazy! ;) I thought it was useless anyways because my baby is perfect! (You really are!)
Well then I got the phone call. The phone call from this mysterious place I had been sending these surveys to. They told me you were behind. That you couldn't crawl on all fours or pull yourself up to standing and you couldn't put yourself in a sitting position. They were concerned. Now I'm normally a pretty relaxed mom but they made me paranoid. What if something was wrong! They said if you hadn't accomplished these things by 11 months, we would have to bring you in for an evaluation! Now, I was nervous! Well, you must have known you were on a time crunch, because not even a week after the dreaded phone call, you can do both of those things! I am so proud of you! You crawl all over the place now and get into lots of trouble! ;) Yesterday you pulled yourself up to standing and I was so proud! Last night as I laid you down for bed I hadn't even left the room and you were already standing. This was a problem since we hadn't lowered your crib yet. I didn't see the reason why to why you couldn't stand up or crawl out. So 9 o'clock last night we lowered your crib! And this morning when I went in to get you, you were standing! :)
I can't even tell you how happy I am that you are doing these things! I thought you were never ever going to! ;)
I love you my growing boy!
Love,
Mom
