Pulling Grandpa’s Leg

Jack’s great joy in life for the past couple of weeks has been practicing his new skill of pulling up. We put him down in the middle of the floor to play and he immediately begins to crawl to the nearest thing he can pull up on. When I put him down for “night-night”, no matter how tired he is, he must pull up in the crib at least once. I know he’s done it when I hear the celebratory “Aaaaaaaggghh” in the trademark Jack growl that sometimes reminds one of the demon in The Exorcist. Good thing Mark is ordained, just in case.
